Getting fire door frames right in Yeadon
Our fire door frames service covers Yeadon and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Yeadon protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Yeadon survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Yeadon before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Architraves and making good
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
What the rules say for Yeadon
The rules that apply to fire doors in Yeadon 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 Yeadon 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 from Yeadon
Do you cover LS19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Yeadon including LS19, and nearby towns such as Guiseley and Shipley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Yeadon?
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.
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.
