Fire Stopping Around Doors in Boston

Responsible persons in Boston can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

In short: 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 Boston

Is expanding foam acceptable around a fire door frame?

Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable. BS 8214:2026 lists acceptable approaches such as suitable mastics, foams and stone wool.

Will I get photos?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Boston?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Boston?

Boston is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
