Fire Stopping Around Doors in Barnsley

Looking for fire stopping in Barnsley? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Barnsley and surrounding parts of South Yorkshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Barnsley.
