Fire Stopping Around Doors in Brighton

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Brighton, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Brighton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brighton?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Brighton?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Will I get photos?

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