Fire Stopping Around Doors in Godalming

Godalming landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire stopping works with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Godalming.
