Fire Stopping Around Doors in Falmouth

Looking for fire stopping in Falmouth? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Falmouth and surrounding parts of Cornwall, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Falmouth

Do you cover the area around Falmouth?

Yes. As well as Falmouth itself we cover nearby towns including Truro, Redruth and Camborne.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Falmouth?

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

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

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.
