We provide fire stopping solutions that seal openings and joints in fire-resistant walls and floors. It's vital because these seals prevent fire, smoke, and toxic gases from spreading through a building's cavities and openings, giving people valuable time to evacuate and helping to protect property.

We recommend having your fire stopping systems inspected at least annually. However, if you've had any building work or modifications that could have affected the fire compartmentation, you'll need an immediate inspection to guarantee the fire stopping integrity hasn't been compromised.

We use a range of FIRAS-approved materials including intumescent sealants, fire boards, mineral wool, and fire collars. The specific materials we'll use depend on the application, the required fire rating, and the type of penetration we're sealing.

We can conduct a thorough survey of your building's fire stopping systems to verify they meet current UK building regulations and fire safety standards. As FIRAS-approved contractors serving Derby and surrounding areas, we'll provide detailed reports and recommendations for any necessary updates.

While they're both part of passive fire protection, we explain that fire stopping specifically deals with sealing gaps and penetrations in fire-rated walls and floors. Fire barriers, on the other hand, are the actual walls, floors, and doors designed to compartmentalise a building. We confirm these systems work together effectively to provide extensive fire protection.
