What fire door frames in Farnham should include
If you need fire door frames in Farnham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Farnham, light industrial buildings, care homes and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Farnham jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Farnham survey.
Frames on their own
Where a leaf is sound but the frame is not, a new compatible frame can sometimes be fitted to the existing leaf, provided the combination is supported by the leaf's certification. More often, a frame replacement is part of a doorset installation.
What you get:
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
Which fire door rules apply in Farnham?
England's framework applies in Farnham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Farnham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Farnham
Is Farnham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Aldershot. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Farnham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
What is the frame-to-wall gap?
It is the space between the door frame and the surrounding wall, normally hidden by the architrave. If it is not filled with a suitable fire-resisting material, fire and smoke can pass around the door.
Why do you photograph the frame before fitting architraves?
Because the fixing and sealing are hidden once the architraves go on. Photographs give you evidence that the hidden work was done correctly.
