Fire Stopping Around Doors in Shirley

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

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.

Common questions in Shirley

Which fire safety law applies in Shirley?

Shirley is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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

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

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.

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.
