Fire Stopping Around Doors in Greenock

From the PA15 district outwards, we cover Greenock and neighbouring towns such as Vale of Leven and Clydebank for fire stopping works.

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.

Common questions in Greenock

Which fire safety law applies in Greenock?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Greenock?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Greenock can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Can you fire stop a whole building?

This service covers fire stopping around doors and nearby penetrations. Wider compartmentation surveys need a specialist survey, which we can arrange.

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.
