What Is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping is part of passive fire protection. Whenever pipes, cables, ductwork or other services pass through fire-rated walls and floors, they create openings. These openings weaken the building’s ability to contain fire.
Our professional fire stopping services are designed to properly seal these penetrations using tested systems and fire-rated materials. This ensures:
-
Fire and smoke are contained within designated compartments
-
Escape routes remain safer for longer
-
Structural integrity is preserved
-
Your building complies with current UK fire legislation
Fire stopping is not simply filling a gap with foam. It requires the correct product, the right installation method and a clear understanding of the building’s fire strategy.
