Fire Stopping Around Doors in Rickmansworth

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Rickmansworth and the WD3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Rickmansworth.

Common questions in Rickmansworth

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.

Can you price remedial work in Rickmansworth from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Rickmansworth, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Rickmansworth?

Rickmansworth is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
