Fire Stopping Around Doors in Loughborough

Need fire stopping in Loughborough? 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. We use the same method for buildings in Loughborough.

Loughborough FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Loughborough?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Loughborough can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Will I get photos?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Loughborough?

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