Fire Stopping Around Doors in Canary Wharf

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Canary Wharf, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Canary Wharf.

Common questions in Canary Wharf

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Canary Wharf?

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canary Wharf?

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