Fire Stopping Around Doors in Dewsbury

Responsible persons in Dewsbury 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.

Common questions in Dewsbury

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Dewsbury?

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

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 Dewsbury?

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