Fire Stopping Around Doors in Shrewsbury

Responsible persons in Shrewsbury 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. We use the same method for buildings in Shrewsbury.

Questions from Shrewsbury clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shrewsbury?

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

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.

Do you cover the area around Shrewsbury?

Yes. As well as Shrewsbury itself we cover nearby towns including Wellington, Telford and Loughton.

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.
