Compliance

Every installation is carried out in line with current fire safety legislation and recognised industry standards. We use approved materials and tested systems so you can be confident in full regulatory compliance.

Quality Workmanship

Our team of qualified installers brings hands-on experience to every project. We take the time to understand the building, how it is used, and the fire safety responsibilities attached to it.

Reliability

We build long-term working relationships with our clients, providing ongoing support, clear communication, and delivering work properly and on time, every time.

Our Services

We provide a comprehensive range of passive fire protection services across commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.

Fire Stopping

Professional installation of fire stopping systems to seal around service penetrations - pipes, cables, ducts, and other openings in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings. We maintain compartmentation to prevent fire and smoke spread between areas of a building.

Compartmentation Surveys

Thorough surveys to assess the condition of passive fire protection measures within your building. We identify breaches in compartmentation, unsealed penetrations, and areas requiring remedial work, providing detailed reports and recommendations.

Fire Door Installation

Supply and installation of certified fire doors to the required standard. Fire doors are a critical component of compartmentation, protecting escape routes and containing fire within designated areas for the specified period.

Structural Fire Protection

Fire-resistant boarding and structural fire protection solutions to maintain the integrity of walls, floors, and ceilings. We support projects of varying size and complexity, from smaller remedial works through to larger, multi-phase developments.

Fire safety is not optional. Getting it right first time is crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions

Passive fire protection (PFP) focuses on compartmentalising a structure so that a fire is contained where it starts. By integrating fire-resisting walls, floors, ceilings, and fire doors, it creates physical barriers that restrict the movement of flames, heat, and toxic smoke. Confining a fire to a single compartment preserves safe evacuation corridors, gives occupants critical time to escape, and provides safer access for emergency services.
Active fire protection relies on systems that detect and respond directly to an outbreak - such as smoke detectors, alarms, suppression systems, and sprinklers.

Passive fire protection is integrated into the fabric of the building to prevent fire from spreading. It relies on structural fire-rated barriers and dedicated firestopping solutions that seal openings around services (cables, pipes, and ductwork). Working together, active and passive measures protect lives, safeguard escape routes, and minimise structural damage.
A service penetration is an aperture formed in a fire-separating element - such as a wall, ceiling, or floor - to run building utilities like electrical wiring, plumbing, data cables, and HVAC ducting. While essential for modern building operations, these openings breach compartment lines and can act as chimneys for fire and smoke if left unaddressed. They must be reinstated using certified firestopping methods to maintain compartment safety.

Passive fire protection is strictly governed by national building regulations, standards, and fire safety codes. These frameworks set mandatory performance ratings for structural elements and specify how materials must be installed and tested. Key compliance measures include:

• Selecting certified fire-rated materials for walls, floors, and doors.
• Installing tested firestop seals around all mechanical and electrical openings.
• Conducting regular inspections and ongoing maintenance to ensure assemblies retain their fire-resisting integrity throughout the building's lifecycle.
A penetration seal is a specialised, fire-resistant assembly installed around building services where they pass through fire-rated boundaries. These seals bridge the gap between the penetrating service (e.g., a pipe or cable bundle) and the surrounding structure. By restoring the fire rating of the breached partition, penetration seals prevent fire, smoke, and heat from leaking into adjacent compartments.
Materials and systems must have certified evidence of performance under standard furnace testing. The UK uses both British Standards and European (BS EN) harmonised classifications:
