Fire Stopping Around Doors in Workington, Cumbria: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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.

Questions from Workington clients

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.

Do you cover the area around Workington?

Yes. As well as Workington itself we cover nearby towns including Whitehaven, Dumfries and Carlisle.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Workington?

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