What Is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping is a critical part of passive fire protection. Whenever pipes, cables, ductwork or other building services pass through fire-rated walls or floors, they create openings. These openings reduce the building’s ability to contain fire.
Our professional fire stopping services are designed to seal those penetrations properly, ensuring that walls and floors maintain their fire resistance for the required period.
Effective fire stopping:
-
Slows the spread of flames and smoke
-
Protects escape routes
-
Maintains structural integrity
-
Reduces potential business disruption
-
Supports compliance with UK fire safety legislation
It is not simply a case of filling a gap. The correct product must be chosen based on the type of service, the size of the opening and the fire rating of the wall or floor.
