Fire door frames for Warwickshire buildings
We provide fire door frames across Warwickshire, covering 7 towns and 22 postcode districts, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Warwickshire jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. We photograph every frame we fix in Warwickshire before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
Warwickshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
BS 8214:2026 and the frame-to-wall gap
The 2026 revision of BS 8214 strengthened its guidance on sealing the gap between the frame and the surrounding structure, listing material types such as stone wool, mastic and fire-rated foam, and putting the emphasis on using what the evidence supports. We fill and seal that gap with materials covered by the doorset's or sealant's test evidence and photograph it before the architraves go back on.
The regulations behind fire doors in Warwickshire
In Warwickshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Warwickshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Fire door frames questions
Do you provide fire door frames across Warwickshire?
Yes. We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton and Rugby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
