Fire Stopping Around Doors in North Watford

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in North Watford, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.
