Fire Stopping Around Doors in West Bromwich

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

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.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in West Bromwich: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in West Bromwich?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in West Bromwich?

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