Fire Stopping Around Doors in Doncaster

Responsible persons in Doncaster can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Doncaster: questions

Do you cover the area around Doncaster?

Yes. As well as Doncaster itself we cover nearby towns including Bentley, Rotherham and Pontefract.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Doncaster?

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