Fire Stopping Around Doors in Purley

From the CR8 district outwards, we cover Purley and neighbouring towns such as Coulsdon and South Croydon for fire stopping works.

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 Purley

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Purley?

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

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

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

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.
