Fire Stopping Around Doors in Weymouth

Need fire stopping in Weymouth? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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.

Common questions in Weymouth

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Weymouth?

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

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 price remedial work in Weymouth from another company's report?

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

Will I get photos?

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