Fire stopping seals service penetrations and gaps in fire-rated walls and floors. This helps prevent fire and smoke spreading through a building and maintains the integrity of fire compartments.
Fire stopping protects the integrity of fire-rated walls and floors by sealing service penetrations and structural gaps.
When pipes, cables, and ductwork pass through compartment walls, they create openings that can allow fire and smoke to spread quickly through a building. Fire stopping systems seal these penetrations to maintain fire compartmentation and protect escape routes.
Correctly installed fire stopping systems are essential for maintaining a building’s passive fire protection strategy and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations.
Our operatives, supervisors and management teams bring decades of experience across passive fire protection, site delivery and compliance. Every project is delivered by qualified professionals who understand the responsibility behind the work.
We install a range of tested and certified fire stopping systems depending on the service penetration, material type and required fire rating.
Sealants that expand when exposed to heat, sealing gaps around services.
Installed around plastic pipes to close openings when exposed to fire.
Used for sealing larger service penetrations in walls and floors.
Fire-rated insulation systems used to enhance fire resistance, thermal performance and acoustic protection.
In many buildings, penetrations require both fire resistance and acoustic performance. Specialist sealants and insulation systems can be used to maintain fire ratings while also reducing sound transmission between rooms and floors. These systems are commonly used in residential buildings, hotels, schools and commercial developments.
Fire stopping is required in every modern construction project to maintain fire compartmentation.
Examples include:
● Commercial offices
● Residential developments
● Hospitals and healthcare facilities
● Schools and universities
● Industrial buildings
All fire stopping systems are installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and relevant fire testing standards. Proper installation ensures penetrations maintain their required fire resistance rating and comply with building safety regulations.
Our team provides compliant fire sealing solutions across commercial, residential and public sector projects.
