Fire Stopping Around Doors in Somerset
Across Somerset, from Bath to smaller towns and villages, 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Somerset: questions
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.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Somerset?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Somerset is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Somerset?
Yes. As well as Somerset itself we cover nearby towns including Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton.
