Fire Stopping Around Doors in Huyton

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Huyton and the L36 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Huyton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Huyton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Huyton 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 Huyton?

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.

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.
