Fire Stopping Around Doors in Thamesmead

From the SE28 district outwards, we cover Thamesmead and neighbouring towns such as Barking and Welling 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Thamesmead: questions

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Thamesmead?

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

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.
