Fire Stopping Around Doors in Greater London

Our fire stopping works cover the whole of Greater London, across local authorities including City of London, Greater London, Westminster.

Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.
