Fire Stopping Around Doors in Cambridge

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Cambridge, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Cambridge.

Common questions in Cambridge

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

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

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Cambridge?

Cambridge is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
