Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable. BS 8214:2026 lists acceptable approaches such as suitable mastics, foams and stone wool.

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.
