Fire door frames for Pudsey buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Pudsey, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Pudsey, small offices, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions 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 Pudsey survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Pudsey before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
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:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials

Questions
Is Pudsey within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Pudsey in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Bradford. 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 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.
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.
