Frequently Asked Questions about Fire Stopping
What is fire stopping?
Fire stopping is the process of sealing openings and joints in fire-resistance-rated wall and floor assemblies to prevent fire and smoke from spreading between compartments. It is a legal requirement under UK building regulations.
Do I need fire stopping for my building?
Yes. All commercial buildings and multi-occupancy residential buildings require fire stopping where services penetrate fire-rated walls and floors. It is essential for life safety and insurance compliance.
What materials do you use for fire stopping?
We use intumescent sealants, fire-rated expanding foam, mineral wool batts, fire collars for pipes, and intumescent mastics. All products are tested to BS 476 and EN 1366 standards.
How long does fire stopping last?
Properly installed fire stopping lasts the lifetime of the building. However, it must be inspected and reinstated whenever new services are installed or removed. We provide certification for all work.
How much does fire stopping cost?
Fire stopping costs vary by penetration type and size. Typical pipe penetrations cost £25-£75 each. Large openings and complex installations are priced individually.
Do you provide fire stopping certificates?
Yes. We provide full compliance documentation including product data sheets, installation records, and photographic evidence for building control and fire risk assessments.
