Fire Stopping Around Doors in Royal Tunbridge Wells: questions

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Royal Tunbridge Wells?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Royal Tunbridge Wells 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 Royal Tunbridge Wells?

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