Fire Stopping Around Doors in Alfreton

From the DE55 district outwards, we cover Alfreton and neighbouring towns such as Ripley and Sutton in Ashfield for fire stopping works.

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 Alfreton.

Questions from Alfreton clients

Which fire safety law applies in Alfreton?

Alfreton 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.

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

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

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 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.
