Fire Stopping Around Doors in Garston

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Garston, Merseyside: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Garston.

Garston FAQs

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.

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 Garston?

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

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

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