Fire Stopping Around Doors in Colne

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Colne, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Colne FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Colne?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Colne?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Do you need to remove architraves?

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.
