Fire Stopping Around Doors in Tipton

Looking for fire stopping in Tipton? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Tipton and surrounding parts of the West Midlands, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.
