Fire Stopping Around Doors in Ampthill: questions

Can you fire stop a whole building?

This service covers fire stopping around doors and nearby penetrations. Wider compartmentation surveys need a specialist survey, which we can arrange.

Is expanding foam acceptable around a fire door frame?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ampthill?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Ampthill is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Can you price remedial work in Ampthill from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Ampthill, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
