Fire Stopping Around Doors in Blackpool

Looking for fire stopping in Blackpool? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Blackpool and surrounding parts of Lancashire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

In short: 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Blackpool: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Blackpool?

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

Do you cover the area around Blackpool?

Yes. As well as Blackpool itself we cover nearby towns including Thornton-Cleveleys, Fylde and Lytham St Annes.

Will I get photos?

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

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.
