Fire stopping

The right solution depends on unique construction, penetration, materials, and fire resistance requirements. Drawing on our decades of passive fire protection expertise and adopting a fully tailored approach, our teams understand the details behind the installation, selecting and applying appropriate, tested systems.

Effective firestopping helps maintain the integrity of the barriers designed to contain fire and smoke (also known as fire compartmentation). We assess breaches and vulnerabilities across walls, floors, ceilings, and other fire-resisting elements, enabling the building’s compartmentation to continue performing as intended; to contain a fire within whichever compartment it starts.

All our firestopping systems are fully accredited and comply with the specified fire strategy, alongside the evolving requirements of Building Regulations Part B and other relevant regulations and guidance. All our seals are recorded and certified under BRE/LPCB Scheme LPS1531, ensuring all work is covered by a uniquely numbered LPCB Certificate of Conformity.

Much of our work takes place in live environments – hospitals, hotels, and student accommodation, for example – where access, people, and day-to-day activity need careful consideration. We plan firestopping works around the building and its users, communicating clearly at all times to manage access, work areas, and safety requirements with minimal disruption to your space. 

With locations spanning London to Glasgow, we deliver the same accredited standard of work whether the project is a single-site repair or a multi-million-pound programme. We operate as both subcontractor and principal contractor, giving you flexibility across procurement projects.

Firestopping does not exist in isolation. Our expertise spans fire engineering, passive, and active fire protection, which means we will always go over and above to understand how firestopping interacts with compartmentation and the wider fire strategy. And it is vital that we do – this joined-up perspective helps ensure individual remedial works support the building’s overall fire safety and complement its wider compliance status.
