Fire Stopping Around Doors in Kingswood

Responsible persons in Kingswood can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Kingswood: questions

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

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

Will I get photos?

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

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.
