Fire Stopping Around Doors in Hounslow

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Hounslow, 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 Hounslow.

Questions from Hounslow clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hounslow?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Hounslow?

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.

Do you need to remove architraves?

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.

Will I get photos?

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