Fire Stopping Around Doors in Chingford

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Chingford and the E4 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Chingford.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Chingford: questions

Do you cover the area around Chingford?

Yes. As well as Chingford itself we cover nearby towns including Woodford Green, Edmonton and Walthamstow.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chingford?

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

Will I get photos?

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

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.
