Fire Stopping Around Doors in South Croydon

Looking for fire stopping in South Croydon? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across South Croydon and surrounding parts of Greater London, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Questions from South Croydon clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Croydon?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in South Croydon?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in South Croydon can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Will I get photos?

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