Fire Stopping Around Doors in New Malden

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

Questions from New Malden clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in New Malden?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in New Malden?

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