Fire Stopping Around Doors in Jarrow

Responsible persons in Jarrow can book fire stopping works with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Jarrow: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Jarrow?

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

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

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