Fire Stopping Around Doors in Kirkcaldy

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Kirkcaldy, Fife: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Kirkcaldy.

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Kirkcaldy?

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