What fire door frames in Bromsgrove should include
When you book fire door frames in Bromsgrove, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Bromsgrove, family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and care homes 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 Bromsgrove survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Bromsgrove 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.
What you get:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
Which fire door rules apply in Bromsgrove?
In Bromsgrove, 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 Bromsgrove 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.

Common questions
Is Bromsgrove within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bromsgrove in Worcestershire and neighbouring towns such as Redditch. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bromsgrove 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.
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.
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.
