Fire Stopping Around Doors in Redruth

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Redruth and the TR16 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Redruth.

Common questions in Redruth

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Redruth?

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

Do you cover the area around Redruth?

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