Fire Stopping Around Doors in Grays

Need fire stopping in Grays? 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.

Questions from Grays clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Grays?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Grays?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Grays can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Will I get photos?

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