Fire Stopping Around Doors in Wimbledon

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Wimbledon, 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. We use the same method for buildings in Wimbledon.

Where fire doors matter most in Wimbledon

Many Wimbledon buildings are mixed use, with flats above shops and offices, where the stair door protecting the flats is often the weakest point. Wimbledon jobs start with a short call to agree access, followed by a fixed price in writing.
