Fire Stopping Around Doors in Paignton
From the TQ3 district outwards, we cover Paignton and neighbouring towns such as Torquay and Newton Abbot for fire stopping works.
In short: 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.
