Fire Stopping Around Doors in Northwich

From the CW9 district outwards, we cover Northwich and neighbouring towns such as Winsford and Warrington for fire stopping works.

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.
