Fire Stopping
We provide a complete range of certified fire stopping products to strengthen the overall resilience of your building.
What is fire stopping?
Fire stopping is a core element of passive fire protection that is designed to prevent fire, heat, and smoke from spreading through a building. When installed correctly, fire stopping systems seal gaps, joints, and service penetrations to maintain compartmentation, giving occupants time to evacuate and allow for emergency services to respond safely.
Without adequate fire stopping, fire can pass rapidly through cable penetrations, pipework, walls, ceilings, and hidden voids, putting lives, assets, and business continuity at risk. As part of a robust fire protection strategy, our fire stopping services help you stay fully compliant with UK fire safety legislation while strengthening the overall resilience of your building.
Our fire stopping products and solutions
As a trusted fire stopping company, we provide a complete range of certified fire stopping products and tailored installation services. All products are selected, installed, and tested in accordance with key British Standards including BS 476 and BS EN 1366.
Our product range includes:
- Fire-rated sealants and intumescent mastics – ideal for sealing small gaps, joints, and linear penetrations.
- Fire stopping mortars and compounds – used to reinstate fire resistance in walls and floors around large openings.
- Intumescent collars, wraps, and pipe sleeves – designed to expand under heat to seal plastic pipework.
- Fire-resistant boards and panels – suitable for high-risk areas and large structural penetrations.
- Cavity barriers and smoke barriers – maintaining compartmentation in ceiling voids, risers, and concealed spaces.
Our end-to-end fire stopping service includes:
- Full site assessment and identification of breaches
- Product specification based on building layout and risk
- Professional installation by trained engineers
- Quality checks, photographic evidence, and sign-off
- Comprehensive certification and compliance documentation
Every installation is carried out using third-party certified materials to ensure long-term performance and verifiable compliance with fire safety legislation, such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Fire stopping for commercial and high-risk environments
At Facilities Fire, we deliver our specialist fire stopping services across a wide range of commercial and high-risk settings, with particular expertise in environments where downtime or fire spread would have severe operational impact.
We support environments such as:
- Data centres and server rooms
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Warehouses and industrial sites
- Healthcare, education, retail, and hospitality
Our engineers are experienced in resolving complex penetrations, intricate service routes, and environments with extensive cabling, ensuring each fire compartment performs exactly as required in an emergency.
Ensuring long-term fire integrity
Fire stopping is not a one-off installation. Over time, new penetrations, refurbishments, and operational modifications can compromise compartmentation. That’s why we provide ongoing inspections, remedial work, and compliance reviews to ensure fire integrity is maintained throughout your building’s lifecycle.
Whether your site requires periodic assessments, updates following construction works, or ongoing support as part of a planned maintenance strategy, we can ensure your fire stopping systems remain fully compliant, traceable, and effective.
