Fire Stopping Around Doors in Macclesfield

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

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.

Common questions in Macclesfield

Do you work in occupied buildings in Macclesfield?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Macclesfield can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Macclesfield?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Macclesfield is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
