Across Perth & Kinross, including rural and island locations, we carry out fire stopping works for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Stopping Around Doors: 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.
