Fire Stopping Around Doors in Heswall

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Heswall, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Heswall?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Can you fire stop a whole building?
