Fire Stopping Around Doors in Woodford Green

Responsible persons in Woodford Green can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Common questions in Woodford Green

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Woodford Green?

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

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.

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

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

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.
