Fire Stopping Around Doors in Gwynedd
Across Gwynedd, including rural and island locations, we carry out fire stopping works for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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 Gwynedd: questions
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.
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.
