Fire door frames: our service in Rugby
From the CV21 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door frames across Rugby for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Rugby, houses with integral garages, HMOs and high-street shops 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.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Rugby survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Rugby 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.
Each installation includes:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
Which fire door rules apply in Rugby?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Rugby 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 Rugby 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
Is Rugby within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Rugby in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Daventry. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Rugby?
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.
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.
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.
