Fire Stopping Around Doors in Northampton

From the NN1 district outwards, we cover Northampton and neighbouring towns such as Wellingborough and Daventry for fire stopping works.

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 Northampton.
