Fire Stopping Around Doors in Berkhamsted

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire: 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. We use the same method for buildings in Berkhamsted.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Berkhamsted: 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 work in occupied buildings in Berkhamsted?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Berkhamsted can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Berkhamsted?

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