Fire Stopping Around Doors in Hindley

From the WN2 district outwards, we cover Hindley and neighbouring towns such as Wigan and Westhoughton 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 Hindley: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hindley?

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

Will I get photos?

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

Do you cover the area around Hindley?

Yes. As well as Hindley itself we cover nearby towns including Wigan, Westhoughton and Leigh.

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.
