Fire Stopping Around Doors in Truro: 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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Truro?

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

Can you price remedial work in Truro from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Truro, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
