Fire Stopping Around Doors in Derbyshire: 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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Derbyshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Derbyshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Derbyshire?
It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
