Fire Stopping Around Doors in Swansea

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Swansea, West Glamorgan: 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 Swansea.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Swansea: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Swansea?

No. Swansea is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Swansea?

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