Fire Stopping Around Doors in Leighton Buzzard

From the LU7 district outwards, we cover Leighton Buzzard and neighbouring towns such as Dunstable and Bletchley for fire stopping works.

Fire stopping is the sealing of gaps and openings in fire-resisting walls and floors so fire and smoke cannot pass through. Around a fire door it mainly means the gap between the door frame and the wall, which must be sealed as well as the door itself.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Leighton Buzzard?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Leighton Buzzard?

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

Do you need to remove architraves?

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