Common questions in Rugeley

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 Rugeley?

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

Yes. As well as Rugeley itself we cover nearby towns including Burntwood, Cannock and Lichfield.

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.
