Fire Stopping Around Doors in Broadstairs

From the CT10 district outwards, we cover Broadstairs and neighbouring towns such as Saint Peters and Ramsgate 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.

Common questions in Broadstairs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Broadstairs?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Broadstairs is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Broadstairs?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Broadstairs can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Do you need to remove architraves?

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.
