Fire Stopping Around Doors in Nailsea

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Nailsea and the BS48 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Questions from Nailsea clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Nailsea?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Nailsea 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 Nailsea?

Yes. As well as Nailsea itself we cover nearby towns including Portishead, Clevedon and Bristol.

Will I get photos?

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

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.
