The Risks

Bad fire stopping installation costs lives, projects and sign-off

Compartments that don't compartment

An untested or poorly fitted seal will fail in a fire. Smoke and flame travel through the gap and the compartmentation strategy collapses with it.

Failed handover and delays

Building control, clients and approving inspectors expect tested products, correct application and full evidence. Without it, projects don't sign off.

Liability that lands on you

If installation can't be evidenced, the responsible person, contractor or developer carries the risk. Insurers and regulators want proof.

Why It Matters

Installation is where fire safety either works or fails

A fire-rated wall is only as good as what gets installed around the cables, pipes and ducts that pass through it. Get the installation right and the building performs as designed. Get it wrong and every other fire safety measure starts on the back foot.

Fire Stopping Installation FAQs

What is fire stopping installation?
Fire stopping installation is the process of sealing penetrations, joints and openings in fire-rated walls and floors using tested systems. Done correctly, it restores the fire and smoke resistance of the construction so the building's compartmentation strategy works as designed.
Who needs fire stopping installation?
Main contractors and developers need it on every new build and refurbishment. Building owners, landlords and facilities managers need it whenever a fire risk assessment, audit or refurbishment exposes gaps in existing compartmentation.
What systems do you install?
We install third-party tested systems from leading manufacturers, including coated and uncoated batt, intumescent mastic, collars, wraps, pillows, sleeves and pre-formed devices — always matched to the tested specification for the substrate and fire rating required.
Do you provide installation evidence?
Yes. Every penetration is photographed before, during and after installation, with the product details, fire rating and installer recorded. The full pack is provided at handover and can be uploaded into your Golden Thread system.
Are your installers certified?
Yes. Our installers are FIRAS third-party certified, which means they have been independently assessed and audited on competence, knowledge of tested systems and quality of installation.
Can you install to a tight programme?
Yes. We work alongside MEP, drylining and finishing trades on live programmes, mobilising the right number of operatives to hit handover dates without cutting corners on evidence.
Do you cover both new builds and existing buildings?
Yes. We install on new build packages, refurbishments, fit-outs, and remedial works across occupied buildings — including healthcare, education, residential and commercial sectors.
How much does fire stopping installation cost?
Cost depends on the number and type of penetrations, fire rating required, access and programme. We provide fixed, itemised quotations after a site walk so there are no surprises.
