Fire Stopping Around Doors in Stafford

From the ST16 district outwards, we cover Stafford and neighbouring towns such as Rugeley and Cannock 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 Stafford.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Stafford: questions

Do you cover the area around Stafford?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Stafford?

Stafford is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.
