Fire Stopping Around Doors in Preston

From the PR1 district outwards, we cover Preston and neighbouring towns such as Leyland and Chorley 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.
