Fire door frames in Leeds, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Leeds, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Leeds has a broad mix of buildings, including student accommodation, care homes 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 Leeds survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Leeds 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Architraves and making good
Fire door law for Leeds properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Leeds 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 Leeds 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.

Budgeting for fire door frames in Leeds
If you need a budget figure first, the guide for fire door frames is £250–£600 per frame replaced, fixed and sealed, ex VAT. We firm that up after a survey, pricing each door separately so you can see where the money goes.
Leeds and neighbouring towns
As well as Leeds, we cover neighbouring towns including Morley, Pudsey and Lofthouse. The survey and quote are free.
Questions from Leeds
Is Leeds within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Leeds in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Morley. 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.
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.
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.
