Fire Stopping Around Doors in Hatfield

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Hatfield and the AL10 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Hatfield: 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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Hatfield?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hatfield?

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