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.

Yes. As well as Market Harborough itself we cover nearby towns including Corby, Kettering and Wigston Magna.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Market Harborough?

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