Fire stopping refers to sealing any openings to prevent fire, smoke, and heat from moving between building compartments. By creating fire-resistant compartments that segment a building both vertically and horizontally, the spread of fire, smoke, and heat can be effectively contained. Implementing fire stopping measures is crucial for restricting fire spread within buildings.

Fire remedial works involve a variety of manual services focused on correcting deficiencies in a building’s passive fire protection framework.

A fire compartmentation survey evaluates the effectiveness of measures implemented within a building to contain smoke and flames. This process includes reviewing the building's fire plan or strategy and inspecting physical barriers and void spaces to ensure compliance with the standards outlined in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. At The Passive Fire Protection Company, we are dedicated to ensuring that your building meets these essential safety requirements.

Fire partitioning is a crucial safety measure implemented during building construction to inhibit the spread of fire. This process involves constructing internal walls and ceilings designed to contain the fire within a specific room or area for a limited duration. By doing so, occupants are given time to locate escape routes, while minimizing damage to the building, as only the designated area is impacted.

External fire barrier systems are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within roof and ceiling spaces, as well as hidden voids in buildings. These fire barrier systems are effective for voids located up to 10.5 meters. Vertical fire barrier systems offer insulation and integrity periods of up to 120 minutes, while friction fire barrier slabs provide protection for up to 60 minutes.
