Fire Stopping Around Doors in Newcastle upon Tyne

We provide fire stopping works for buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne and the NE1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Newcastle upon Tyne.

Newcastle upon Tyne FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Newcastle upon Tyne can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

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.
