Fire door frames for Keighley buildings
We provide fire door frames in Keighley (BD21 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Keighley protect escape routes in HMOs, low-rise blocks of flats and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Keighley jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Keighley survey.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
Rules and responsibilities in Keighley
In Keighley, 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 Keighley 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.
Which buildings in Keighley need fire door frames?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Keighley can all commission fire door frames from us. The usual settings are schools and offices, though single doors for older blocks of flats are just as welcome.

Common questions
Do you work in Keighley?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Keighley and the surrounding area, including Shipley and Guiseley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Keighley?
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.
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.
