Fire Stopping

Bat & Mastic

Fire stopping batt and mastic are a passive fire protection Product engineered to reinstate the fire resistance of walls, floors, and ceilings by effectively sealing penetrations and voids created by building services. These materials are critical in preventing the passage of fire, smoke, and hot gases through compartmentation barriers, thereby preserving the integrity of fire-rated structures.

Compound 

Fire stopping compound is a high-performance, fire-resistant mortar used to seal openings in fire-rated walls and floors where multiple or large service penetrations occur. Once mixed and applied, the compound cures to form a solid, load-bearing seal that reinstates the fire integrity of the compartment. It is specifically designed to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases by effectively filling voids around pipes, cables, and ducts, maintaining compliance with fire safety regulations.

Intumescent Pillows 

Intumescent fire stopping pillows are flexible, compressible passive fire protection products designed to seal temporary or permanent openings in fire-rated walls and floors. They are commonly used around cable trays, conduits, and service penetrations. In the event of a fire, the pillows expand and harden to form a robust, fire-resistant barrier that prevents the spread of flames, smoke, and hot gases. Intumescent pillows are ideal for installations that require future access or frequent reconfiguration of services, offering a clean, reusable, and non-setting solution that supports compliance with fire safety standards.

Intumescent Wraps 

Intumescent wraps are flexible, fire-rated passive protection materials designed to provide fire resistance around plastic pipes and combustible service penetrations in fire-rated walls and floors. During a fire, the wrap expands rapidly when exposed to high temperatures, crushing and sealing the softened pipe to prevent the passage of fire, smoke, and hot gases. Intumescent wraps are typically used in conjunction with collars, sleeves, or directly within substrate openings, offering a compact, reliable, and compliant fire stopping solution for a wide range of pipe types and sizes.

Intumescent Collars 

Intumescent collars are passive fire protection devices designed to maintain the fire integrity of walls and floors where plastic pipes penetrate fire-rated barriers. Installed around the pipe, these collars contain intumescent material that expands rapidly when exposed to high temperatures, crushing and sealing the melting plastic pipe to prevent the passage of fire, smoke, and hot gases.

Fire Dampers

Fire Damper Remedial Works

Fire damper remedials involve the inspection, repair, and replacement of fire dampers to ensure they operate effectively in preventing the spread of fire and smoke through HVAC ductwork. Following routine testing or building surveys, remedial works address issues such as faulty actuation mechanisms, damaged components, corrosion, or improper installation that could compromise fire safety.

Fire Damper Testing 

Fire damper testing is a critical component of passive fire protection maintenance, ensuring that fire dampers function correctly to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation and ductwork systems. The process involves visual inspection, functional testing, and verification that dampers close fully and operate as designed under fire conditions. Regular testing in accordance with standards such as BS 9999 or AS1851 is essential for regulatory compliance, occupant safety, and the ongoing integrity of fire compartmentation within the building.

Fire Damper Installation

Fire damper installation is a critical aspect of passive fire protection, ensuring that HVAC and ductwork systems do not compromise the integrity of fire-rated walls, floors, or partitions. Fire dampers are installed within ductwork at points where it penetrates a fire compartment barrier. In the event of a fire, the damper closes automatically—typically triggered by a rise in temperature—preventing the spread of flames and smoke through ventilation systems. Proper installation, in accordance with manufacturer specifications and relevant standards (such as BS 9999 or AS 1682), is essential to ensure full functionality, fire compliance, and long-term system reliability.

Tr19 Works 

Tr19 Cleans 

A TR19 clean involves specialist equipment and techniques to ensure ducts, grilles, and associated components are hygienic, Reducing Fire Risk and Improving the systems efficiency. Regular TR19 cleaning supports compliance with health and safety regulations, reduces fire risk from accumulated dust, and prolongs the lifespan of ventilation systems.

Access Doors 

Ductwork access panels are purpose-designed openings installed in HVAC duct systems to allow safe and easy access for inspection, cleaning, maintenance, and testing of internal duct components such as fire dampers, volume control dampers, and sensors. These panels are available in a variety of sizes and fire-rated or non-fire-rated configurations, depending on the system requirements. Properly installed access panels help maintain system efficiency, ensure compliance with fire safety and hygiene regulations, and facilitate ongoing inspection and maintenance in accordance with standards such as BS EN 12097 or DW/144.
