Fire Stopping Around Doors in Burgess Hill

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Burgess Hill, our fire stopping works follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.
