Fire Stopping Around Doors in Melton Mowbray

From the LE13 district outwards, we cover Melton Mowbray and neighbouring towns such as Loughborough and Leicester 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.
