Fire Stopping Around Doors in Felixstowe

Looking for fire stopping in Felixstowe? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Felixstowe and surrounding parts of Suffolk, 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.

Questions from Felixstowe clients

Can you price remedial work in Felixstowe from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Felixstowe, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Felixstowe 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.
