Fire Stopping Around Doors in Southport

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Southport and the PR8 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. We use the same method for buildings in Southport.

Southport FAQs

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Southport?

Southport is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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.
