Fire Stopping Around Doors in Chesham

Chesham landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire stopping works with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

In short: 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.
