Fire Stopping

Fire compartmentation in buildings is generally provided by separating elements such as walls, floors and ceilings. It is designed to protect people in and around the building, including fire and rescue personnel, from the effects of the spread of fire by containing it in the compartment of origin for a specified period of time.

Compartmentation subdivides buildings into areas of manageable risk to provide adequate means of escape and to provide fire separation for adjoining buildings.

Fire stopping is required to maintain the specified level of fire compartmentation where services penetrate the compartment walls and floors.

All our fire stopping technicians are fully qualified and competent. We use only fully tested and certified products (to BS 476 / EN 1634) from accredited manufacturers and qualified installers.
