Fire Stopping Around Doors in Margate
We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Margate and the CT9 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.
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.
