Fire Stopping Around Doors in Rottingdean

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Rottingdean, 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.

Questions from Rottingdean clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rottingdean?

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

Will I get photos?

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

Can you price remedial work in Rottingdean from another company's report?

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

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.
