Fire Stopping Around Doors in Congleton

From the CW12 district outwards, we cover Congleton and neighbouring towns such as Kidsgrove and Macclesfield for fire stopping works.

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.

Questions from Congleton clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Congleton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Congleton 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 Congleton?

Yes. As well as Congleton itself we cover nearby towns including Kidsgrove, Macclesfield and Crewe.

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.

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.
