Fire Stopping Around Doors in Gateshead

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Gateshead.

Questions from Gateshead clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gateshead?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Gateshead is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you need to remove architraves?

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Gateshead?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.
