Fire Stopping Around Doors in Belper

From the DE56 district outwards, we cover Belper and neighbouring towns such as Ripley and Heanor 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 Belper.

Questions from Belper clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Belper?

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

Do you cover the area around Belper?

Yes. As well as Belper itself we cover nearby towns including Ripley, Heanor and Alfreton.
