Fire Stopping Around Doors in Kilburn

From the NW6 district outwards, we cover Kilburn and neighbouring towns such as Cricklewood and Chalk Farm for fire stopping works.

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 Kilburn

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Kilburn?

Kilburn is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.
