Fire Stopping Around Doors in Vale of Leven

Looking for fire stopping in Vale of Leven? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Vale of Leven and surrounding parts of Dunbartonshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Vale of Leven.

Questions from Vale of Leven clients

Will I get photos?

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

Does regulation 10 apply in Vale of Leven?

No. Vale of Leven is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

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.
