Fire door frames in Burgess Hill, done to the evidence
If you need fire door frames in Burgess Hill, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Burgess Hill, schools, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings 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.
We photograph every frame we fix in Burgess Hill before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Burgess Hill 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:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
What the rules say for Burgess Hill
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burgess Hill 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 Burgess Hill 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.

In Burgess Hill, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Is Burgess Hill within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Burgess Hill in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Haywards Heath. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
