Fire Stopping

Implementing passive fire-stopping materials within buildings is a statutory requirement of ‘Approved Document B’ (2010) – Building Regulations.

The regulatory reform (Fire Safety) Order (2005) affirms – ‘any person who has some level of control in premises (responsible person) must take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and make sure people can safely escape if there is a fire’

We collaborate with clients across the facilities management and end-user sectors to ensure they comply with these requirements through survey, installation and rectification of passive fire systems including:

Fire protection to the structural frame of the building
Fire-resisting glazing
Suspended ceilings
Compartment walls and floors
Industrial fire curtains
Fire-resisting walls and partitions
Fire doors and hardware
Fire fighting shafts and stairwells
Fire-resisting dampers (mechanical or intumescent) used in horizontal or vertical air distribution ducts
Fire-resisting service ducts and shafts
Hydrocarbon structural fire protection systems
Linear gap seals
Fire-resisting ductwork
Penetration seals for pipes, cables and other services
Cavity barriers
Penetration seals for pipes, cables and other services
Fire-resisting air transfer grilles (mechanical or intumescent)
The building envelope, e.g. fire-resisting external walls, curtain walls etc.
Reaction to fire coatings

We are involved in installation and remediation works with our team of NVQ qualified, BM TRADA Q Mark accredited passive fire specialists, as well as passive fire surveys carried out by our IFSM accredited passive fire inspectors ensuring the safety and compliance of buildings.
