Fire Stopping Around Doors in Borehamwood

From the WD6 district outwards, we cover Borehamwood and neighbouring towns such as Barnet and Bushey 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.
