FAQs

What is fire-stopping?
Fire-stopping seals gaps and service penetrations in fire-resisting walls, floors and ceilings to maintain compartmentation and slow the spread of fire and smoke.

How often should fire doors be checked?
Intervals depend on your building type, usage and risk assessment. Many sites adopt quarterly or six-monthly checks, with a full annual inspection as a minimum.

Will we receive certificates?
Yes. You’ll receive BM TRADA-recognised documentation, photo evidence and an asset register for every completed item.
