Fire Stopping Around Doors in Whitefield

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Whitefield and the M45 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Whitefield clients

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.

Will I get photos?

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

Do you cover the area around Whitefield?

Yes. As well as Whitefield itself we cover nearby towns including Radcliffe, Prestwich and Bury.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Whitefield?

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