Fire Stopping Around Doors in Whitley Bay

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

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 Whitley Bay.

Do you cover the area around Whitley Bay?

Yes. As well as Whitley Bay itself we cover nearby towns including North Shields, Tynemouth and South Shields.

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.

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