Fire Stopping Around Doors in Hucknall

Responsible persons in Hucknall can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Hucknall: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hucknall?

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

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

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

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.
