Fire Stopping Around Doors in Redcar

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Redcar and the TS10 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.

Questions from Redcar clients

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Redcar?

Redcar 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 work in occupied buildings in Redcar?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Redcar can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.
