Fire Stopping Around Doors in Tynemouth

Need fire stopping in Tynemouth? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

In short: 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.

Tynemouth FAQs

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tynemouth?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Tynemouth?

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

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.
