Fire door frames: our service in Evesham
Our fire door frames service in Evesham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Evesham range from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We photograph every frame we fix in Evesham before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Evesham jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
The regulations behind fire doors in Evesham
England's framework applies in Evesham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Evesham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Buildings and duty holders in Evesham
Typical settings for fire door frames include offices, older blocks of flats and schools. In Evesham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Is Evesham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Evesham in Worcestershire and neighbouring towns such as Tewkesbury. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Evesham?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
