Fire stopping is the process of sealing openings and joints in fire-resistant walls and floors to prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. We install specialised materials that maintain the fire resistance rating of walls and floors, which is essential for protecting lives and property during a fire emergency.

We recommend having your fire stopping systems inspected annually by qualified professionals. However, if you've had any recent renovations or modifications to your building that involved penetrations through walls or floors, you'll need immediate inspection and potential updates to your fire stopping measures.

We utilise various approved materials including intumescent collars, fire batts, fire-rated sealants, and mortar systems. The specific materials we'll use depend on your building's requirements and the type of penetration that needs sealing. All our materials are tested and certified to meet current fire safety regulations.

You'll want to look for gaps around pipes, cables, and other services that penetrate walls and floors. If you notice damaged seals, missing materials, or new penetrations that haven't been properly fire stopped, these are clear signs you need our services. We serve Leicester and surrounding areas with all-encompassing inspections to identify these issues.

Your building must comply with UK Building Regulations (Document B), the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and BS 476 standards. We're FIRAS approved and guarantee all our installations meet these requirements. Our experienced team will guide you through the compliance process and provide necessary certification.
