Fire Stopping Around Doors in Clwyd
Across Clwyd, from Wrexham to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire stopping works for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Clwyd: questions
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.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.
Does regulation 10 apply in Clwyd?
No. Clwyd is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
Do you cover the area around Clwyd?
Yes. As well as Clwyd itself we cover nearby towns including Wrexham, Buckley and Deeside.
