Fire Stopping Around Doors in Accrington

From the BB5 district outwards, we cover Accrington and neighbouring towns such as Rawtenstall and Blackburn for fire stopping works.

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 Accrington.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Accrington: questions

Do you cover the area around Accrington?

Yes. As well as Accrington itself we cover nearby towns including Rawtenstall, Blackburn and Darwen.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Accrington?

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

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.
