Fire Stopping Around Doors in Sandown

Need fire stopping in Sandown? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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.
