Fire Stopping Around Doors in Greenwich

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

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.

Common questions in Greenwich

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Greenwich?

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

Do you cover the area around Greenwich?

Yes. As well as Greenwich itself we cover nearby towns including Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford.

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.

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.
