Fire Stopping Around Doors in Ramsgate

Responsible persons in Ramsgate can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Ramsgate.

Questions from Ramsgate clients

Is expanding foam acceptable around a fire door frame?

Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable. BS 8214:2026 lists acceptable approaches such as suitable mastics, foams and stone wool.

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

Do you cover the area around Ramsgate?

Yes. As well as Ramsgate itself we cover nearby towns including Broadstairs, Saint Peters and Margate.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ramsgate?

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