Fire Stopping Around Doors in Merseyside
Our fire stopping works cover the whole of Merseyside, across local authorities including Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Wirral.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.
