Commercial Fire Stopping Installers in Coventry

Secure your building’s structural integrity and ensure total legal compliance. We engineer and install certified passive fire stopping solutions that seal service penetrations, prevent the spread of fire and toxic smoke, and maintain critical compartmentation in commercial facilities.

Structural Compartmentation

Why Passive Fire Protection is Critical

Active systems like fire alarms detect the threat, but passive fire stopping contains it. Under the Building Regulations and Fire Safety Act, maintaining fire-resistant compartment lines is a strict legal requirement to ensure safe evacuation.

  • Containment of Fire & Smoke

    By professionally sealing the gaps where pipes, cables, and ductwork pass through walls and floors, we trap fire and deadly toxic gases in a single compartment, preventing rapid building-wide spread.

  • Protecting Escape Routes

    Passive fire stopping buys critical time. By holding back the blaze for up to 120 minutes, we ensure stairwells and evacuation routes remain clear of smoke and structural collapse is delayed.

  • Total Regulatory Compliance

    We restore your building’s fire-rating to meet strict BS 476 and BS EN 1366 standards, ensuring your Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) passes without critical failures or enforcement notices.

Certified Fire Sealing Systems

We don’t just use standard expanding foam. We specify fully tested and certified fire-stopping compounds, batts, and intumescent products tailored to the exact substrate and service penetration type.

Intumescent Batts & Mastics

High-density rockwool batts coated with intumescent mastic. These are precision-cut to seal large voids in fire-rated walls and floors where multiple cable trays or pipes pass through.

  • Riser Shafts & Service Cupboards
  • Server Room Penetrations
  • Corridor Compartment Walls

Fire-Rated Pipe Collars & Wraps

Designed specifically for combustible plastic pipes (PVC, UPVC). In a fire, the intumescent material expands massively inwards, crushing the melting plastic pipe and sealing the hole completely.

  • Internal Plumbing Stacks
  • Drainage Services
  • Commercial Kitchen Voids

Load-Bearing Fire Compounds

A specialized gypsum-based mortar used to seal service penetrations in concrete floors. It provides a smoke-tight seal while maintaining the structural load-bearing capacity of the floor slab so maintenance teams can walk on it.

  • Heavy Duty Plant Rooms
  • Vertical Service Risers
  • Industrial Floor Slabs

Linear Gap & Cavity Barriers

Specialised barriers installed within concealed spaces to prevent the unseen spread of fire. These act as hidden fire-breaks within the very fabric of your building.

  • Underneath Raised IT Floors
  • Above Suspended Ceilings
  • External Cladding Voids
Auditable Precision

The Golden Thread of Fire Safety

We provide absolute traceability for every seal we install, ensuring your building’s safety records are audit-ready and compliant with the latest UK fire safety legislation.

Digital Logging & Tagging

Every fire stopping installation is photographed, tagged with a unique ID sticker, and recorded in a digital database. You receive a comprehensive O&M manual detailing the exact location, material, and fire-rating of every seal.

FRA Remedial Works

Failed your recent Fire Risk Assessment? We specialize in rapid remedial works, ripping out non-compliant DIY foam jobs and sealing open penetrations to immediately restore your building’s legal status.

Third-Party Tested Materials

We refuse to cut corners. We exclusively use fully tested products from industry-leading manufacturers (such as Nullifire, Hilti, and Rockwool) that provide proven 60 to 120-minute fire resistance.

Compliance Consultation

    Technical FAQs

    Passive Fire Protection Intelligence

    What exactly is fire stopping?

    Fire stopping involves meticulously sealing openings, joints, and penetrations (like cable trays or pipes) in fire-resistance-rated walls or floors to prevent the rapid spread of fire and toxic smoke.

    Why can't we just use standard pink "fire foam" to fill holes?

    Standard PU expanding foam is rarely compliant for service penetrations because it isn’t tested for the specific pipes or cables running through it. True passive fire protection requires intumescent batts, mastics, and collars that are rigorously tested to BS EN 1366 standards for that exact application.

    What exactly is a "compartmentation line"?

    A compartmentation line is a fire-resistant boundary (like a specific floor or wall) designed to contain a fire in one area of a building for a set period (usually 60 to 120 minutes). When electricians or plumbers drill through these walls to run cables, the fire rating is destroyed until it is professionally fire-stopped.

    Do we get a certificate after the fire stopping is completed?

    Yes. We provide a full digital handover package. This includes a certificate of conformity, photographic evidence of every seal (before and after), its precise location on your building plans, and the data sheets for the materials used.

    Why is commercial fire stopping a legal requirement?

    It is vital for building compartmentation, ensuring safe evacuation routes remain clear and complying with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

    Do you provide certification after installing fire stopping materials?

    Yes, we provide full photographic documentation and compliance certification upon completion of the works for your health and safety records.
