Fire Stopping Around Doors in Litherland: questions

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.

Do you cover the area around Litherland?

Yes. As well as Litherland itself we cover nearby towns including Bootle, Maghull and Liverpool.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Litherland?

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

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.
