Fire Stopping Around Doors in North Yorkshire
Across North Yorkshire, from York to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire stopping works for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in North Yorkshire: questions
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.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in North Yorkshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. North Yorkshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
