Comprehensive Fire Stopping Solutions

Our fire stopping services protect your building by reinstating compartmentation wherever fire and smoke could spread. This includes:

Apertures and penetrations
We seal around pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-rated walls, floors and ceilings to prevent the movement of fire and smoke.

Linear gap sealing
Specialist seals are applied to structural gaps and joints to maintain fire integrity between compartments.

Fire-safe ducting and ventilation
Fire-safe ductwork components are installed to prevent smoke and flame spread within ventilation pathways.

Cavity fire barriers
Concealed voids can allow rapid fire spread. We install cavity barriers to block these hidden routes.

Every installation is completed to strict industry standards to ensure your building remains safe and compliant.

Structural Protection & Specialist Fireproofing

Beyond sealing gaps and penetrations, we deliver specialist fireproofing solutions to safeguard the structural integrity of your building:

Intumescent fireproofing sprays
Cost-effective coatings that rapidly expand under heat, creating a protective thermal barrier around structural steelwork.

Structural steel encapsulation
Gypsum-based fire protection boards are installed to provide up to two hours of fire resistance for beams and columns.

Full compliance reinstate works
Where fire integrity has been compromised, walls, floors and ceilings are reinstated to compliant fire-resisting standards.

These systems are essential for slowing structural collapse and giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.

Our Fire Stopping Process

We follow a methodical, regulation-led approach to ensure every fire stopping installation is safe, compliant and fully documented.

1. Survey and fire compartment assessment
We identify penetrations, gaps and voids that compromise compartmentation and map out the necessary reinstatement works.

2. Specification and compliance planning
The correct fire stopping methods and materials are defined for each penetration type in line with UK fire safety regulations.

3. Professional installation
Accredited engineers install approved fire stopping systems with precision, ensuring a complete and compliant seal.

4. Quality checks and documentation
Every installation is photographed, recorded and checked to ensure compliance with the manufacturer’s fire rating.

5. Certification and reporting
Detailed installation reports are issued for your safety file, audit trail or building control submission.

6. Ongoing support and additional works
We provide follow-up inspections, maintenance and additional fire safety services whenever required.

FAQs

Can you work on existing buildings that are occupied?

Yes. Most fire stopping installations can be completed with minimal disruption, even in live environments such as offices, schools and healthcare facilities.

Do I legally need fire stopping in my building?

Yes. UK fire regulations require all breaches in fire-rated walls, floors and ceilings to be properly sealed to maintain compartmentation. Without compliant fire stopping, a building will not meet regulatory or insurance requirements.

Do you provide certification for completed fire stopping works?

Absolutely. Every installation is documented, photographed and certified for building control, safety files or compliance audits.

How often should fire stopping be checked?

Fire stopping should be inspected after any refurbishment, cabling works, mechanical installations or changes to the building structure. Annual inspections are recommended for commercial properties.

Can you repair or replace failed or damaged fire stopping?

Yes. We remove non-compliant products, repair damaged seals and reinstate full fire integrity using approved systems.
