Fire door frames: our service in Cleckheaton
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cleckheaton, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Cleckheaton has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Cleckheaton survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Cleckheaton jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
The regulations behind fire doors in Cleckheaton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cleckheaton 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 Cleckheaton 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
Do you work in Cleckheaton?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Cleckheaton and the surrounding area, including Brighouse and Batley. 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 Cleckheaton 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.
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.
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.
