Fire Stopping Around Doors in Plymouth

Responsible persons in Plymouth can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Plymouth.

Common questions in Plymouth

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

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.
