Fire Stopping Around Doors in Meikle Earnock

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Meikle Earnock and the ML3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Meikle Earnock.
