Preventing Fire & Smoke Spread with Certified Fire Stopping Solutions

We provide professional fire stopping solutions to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through walls, floors, and service penetrations. Fire stopping is a crucial part of passive fire protection, ensuring that fire compartments remain intact and that your building complies with UK fire safety regulations.

Our team of qualified fire protection specialists installs and maintains fire-resistant barriers, sealants, and coatings to stop fire from spreading between different areas of a building.

What Is Fire Stopping?

Fire stopping is the process of sealing gaps, joints, and openings in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings to maintain compartmentation and prevent fire spread. These gaps are often caused by:

✔ Electrical cables and conduits
✔ Pipework and ducting
✔ Expansion joints
✔ Voids around service penetrations

Without proper fire stopping, these openings create pathways for fire and smoke to travel rapidly through a building, compromising safety and increasing fire damage.

Why Fire Stopping Is Essential

✅ Slows the spread of fire and smoke, giving people more time to evacuate
✅ Maintains the integrity of fire compartments within the building
✅ Ensures compliance with UK fire regulations, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
✅ Protects escape routes and critical infrastructure

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires building owners, landlords, and responsible persons to ensure effective passive fire protection. Fire stopping must meet the requirements of:

✔ Approved Document B (Building Regulations)
✔ BS 476-20/22 & BS EN 1366-3/4 (Fire Resistance Testing Standards)
✔ The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (For high-rise residential buildings)

Failure to comply can result in legal penalties, increased liability, and serious safety risks. Our fire stopping services help ensure compliance, giving you peace of mind.
