Fire Stopping Around Doors in Sheffield

From the S1 district outwards, we cover Sheffield and neighbouring towns such as Burngreave and Rotherham for fire stopping works.

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 Sheffield.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Sheffield: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sheffield?

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

Yes. As well as Sheffield itself we cover nearby towns including Burngreave, Rotherham and Dronfield.

Is expanding foam acceptable around a fire door frame?

Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable. BS 8214:2026 lists acceptable approaches such as suitable mastics, foams and stone wool.

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.
