Fire Stopping Around Doors in Acton
Responsible persons in Acton can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.
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 Acton.
