Fire Stopping Around Doors in the Isle of Wight
Across the Isle of Wight, from Newport to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire stopping works for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.
