Passive Fire Protection

Passive fire protection is a critical element of modern building safety. It is designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, protect structural elements and maintain safe escape routes within a building. We provide professional passive fire protection services across new build, refurbishment, fit-out and maintenance projects. All works are completed in accordance with current UK Building Regulations, fire safety standards and manufacturer installation requirements. Our experienced operatives work alongside main contractors, M&E contractors, facilities management teams and building owners to deliver compliant, high-quality installations

 

Our Passive Fire Protection Services

Intumescent Coatings (Structural Fire Protection)

Intumescent coatings are specialist fire protection paints applied to structural steel or timber. In the event of a fire, the coating expands to form an insulating char layer, helping maintain the load-bearing capacity of structural elements.

 

Our service includes:

• Surface preparation and priming

• Application to specified film thickness

• Wet and dry film thickness testing

• Application in line with manufacturer specifications

• Works suitable for new build and refurbishment projects

 

Fire Stopping

Fire stopping systems are installed to seal joints, gaps and linear openings within fire-rated walls and floors. These systems help prevent the spread of fire and smoke and ensure fire compartmentation is maintained. We install a wide range of tested and certified systems suitable for all building types and project sizes.

 

Penetration Sealing

Service penetrations are one of the most common causes of compartmentation failure if not correctly sealed. We install certified fire stopping systems to maintain the fire rating where services pass through fire-rated walls and floors. All installations are completed in accordance with tested details and manufacturer guidance.

 

Systems installed include:

• Fire-rated sealants

• Fire collars

• Fire wraps

• Fire pillows

• Fire batt and mastic systems

​

Cavity Barriers

Cavity barriers are installed within concealed voids such as ceiling voids, service risers and cladding systems. These help prevent hidden fire spread through unseen areas of a building.
