Fire Stopping Around Doors in Tyne and Wear: questions
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.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tyne and Wear?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear?
Yes. As well as Tyne and Wear itself we cover nearby towns including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Shields.
