Fire Stopping Around Doors in Rutherglen

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Rutherglen.

Common questions in Rutherglen

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 cover the area around Rutherglen?

Yes. As well as Rutherglen itself we cover nearby towns including Cambuslang, Glasgow and East Kilbride.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Rutherglen?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.
