Get in touchPassive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection is critical in fitout projects where new partitions, penetrations, and service routes can compromise the building's fire compartmentation. Our specialist fire protection teams install fire-stopping, fire barriers, cavity barriers, and intumescent coatings to maintain the integrity of fire compartments and protect means of escape routes.
Fire-Stopping
Sealing of service penetrations through fire-rated walls and floors using tested and certified systems.
Cavity Barriers
Installation of cavity barriers in ceiling voids, raised floors, and curtain wall systems to prevent fire spread.
Intumescent Coatings
Application of intumescent paint and coatings to structural steelwork for fire resistance.
Fire Compartmentation
Construction and reinstatement of fire compartment walls and floors to achieve specified fire ratings.
Why Passive Fire Protection Matters Life safety and regulatory compliance
Life Safety
Effective compartmentation protects means of escape and limits fire spread between areas.
Regulatory Compliance
Full compliance with Building Regulations Part B, BS 476, and BS EN 1366 standards.
Documented Installations
Photographic and written records of all fire-stopping installations for audit and compliance purposes.
Building Integrity
Maintaining the fire compartmentation integrity that protects property and reduces loss.
When You Need Fitout Fire Protection
Fire protection works are required whenever a fitout creates new penetrations through fire-rated elements or modifies fire compartment boundaries.
New Partitioning
New partitions must connect to existing fire-rated structure with appropriate fire-stopping details.
Service Penetrations
M&E services passing through fire-rated walls and floors require certified fire-stopping.
Ceiling Voids
New ceiling installations require cavity barriers to prevent fire spread through concealed voids.
Remedial Works
A fire risk assessment or building survey has identified deficient or missing fire-stopping.
