Fire Stopping Around Doors in Bicester

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

In short: 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 Bicester: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bicester?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Bicester 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 Bicester from another company's report?

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

Will I get photos?

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

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.
