About Us

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION FOR YOUR
BUSINESS

Compartmentation prevents fire from spreading through cavities and penetrations within the structure of your building.

If you’ve had electrical and/or mechanical services installed recently, holes are made through partition walls for penetrants such as pipework, wiring and risers. These open holes are known as voids which present a danger should the need ever arise for evacuation from fire.

Any open holes (voids) between rooms will allow smoke and heat to transfer quickly from one room to the next.

Passive fire protection systems are designed to contain a fire at the source. By slowing down the spread of fire, heat, and smoke, key escape routes can remain open for the safe evacuation of employees, tenants, and visitors.

It’s important to know that If you are an employer, building owner or HSE professional it is a legal requirement that your buildings are compartmented to prevent the spread of fire and allow as much time as possible to evacuate.

Our work gives you peace of mind knowing that your building is compliant. All our work comes with FIRAS certification accompanied with a report showing before and after photos. This is a certificate of conformity which satisfies the requirements of most UK business insurers.

A fire curtain is used where, if there is a fire, it is necessary to create a temporary barrier within an opening that seals off the area on fire.

The curtain descends and prevents any fire and smoke from spreading from one area to another. It also allows people access to protected escape routes without any loss of fire resistance.
A fire curtain comprises a flexible fire-resistant fabric that is wound around a circular tube. Upon receiving a signal from the fire alarm system or on loss of power the curtain automatically unwinds to its operational position. If you feel this is an option you’d like to explore please get in touch with a member of the team.

Penetration seal systems for firestopping are a highly effective form of passive fire protection (PFP). They are used to thoroughly compartmentalise a building to restrict the spread of fire.

We use compliant materials and guarantee a professional finish with all work carried out. It’s important that when filling a hole that any excess material is removed as this in itself could make the problem worse.

We will always advise on the best possible solution for the space.
