Fire Stopping Around Doors in Carlisle: questions

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.

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Carlisle?

Carlisle is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
