Fire Stopping Around Doors in Barnet

Need fire stopping in Barnet? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Barnet: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Barnet?

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

Is expanding foam acceptable around a fire door frame?

Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable. BS 8214:2026 lists acceptable approaches such as suitable mastics, foams and stone wool.

Will I get photos?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Barnet?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
