Fire Stopping Around Doors in Nelson

From the BB9 district outwards, we cover Nelson and neighbouring towns such as Colne and Burnley 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 Nelson.
