Fire Stopping Around Doors in Sale

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Sale, Greater Manchester: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Sale clients

Will I get photos?

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

Do you cover the area around Sale?

Yes. As well as Sale itself we cover nearby towns including Stretford, Urmston and Old Trafford.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sale?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Sale 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.
