Fire Stopping Around Doors in Chelsea

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Chelsea and the SW3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

What kind of buildings in Chelsea need fire door work?

Fire door work in Chelsea typically involves purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted terraces, where communal stair doors and flat entrance doors carry most of the fire strategy. We can work early, late or at weekends in Chelsea where residents, pupils or patients make daytime access difficult.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Chelsea: questions

Will I get photos?

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

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chelsea?

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