Fire Stopping Around Doors in Abingdon

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Abingdon, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Abingdon.

Common questions in Abingdon

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Abingdon, 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Abingdon?

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