Fire Stopping Around Doors in Leicester

Need fire stopping in Leicester? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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.

Common questions in Leicester

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Leicester?

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

Will I get photos?

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

Can you price remedial work in Leicester from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Leicester, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
