Fire Stopping Around Doors in Buckinghamshire
Across Buckinghamshire, from Milton Keynes to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire stopping works for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Buckinghamshire: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Buckinghamshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Buckinghamshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Buckinghamshire?
Yes. As well as Buckinghamshire itself we cover nearby towns including Milton Keynes, High Wycombe and Aylesbury.
