Fire Stopping Around Doors in Crewe

Responsible persons in Crewe can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Common questions in Crewe

Which fire safety law applies in Crewe?

Crewe 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.

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Crewe?

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