Fire door frames: our service in Jarrow
Our fire door frames service in Jarrow is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Jarrow, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Jarrow survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Jarrow jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Architraves and making good
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
Rules and responsibilities in Jarrow
The rules that apply to fire doors in Jarrow are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Jarrow block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Jarrow
Do you work in Jarrow?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Jarrow and the surrounding area, including Hebburn and Wallsend. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Jarrow building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can a new frame be fitted to my existing door?
Sometimes, if the frame is compatible with the door's certification. Often it is simpler and better evidenced to replace the whole doorset.
Can I use expanding foam around a fire door frame?
Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable.
