Fire Stopping Around Doors in Newport (Isle of Wight)

From the PO30 district outwards, we cover Newport (Isle of Wight) and neighbouring towns such as Cowes and Ryde 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.
