That’s why our fire stopping specialists design, install, and maintain barriers in walls, floors, and service penetrations. Using approved, industry-leading materials and techniques, we help you compartmentalise risk, protect occupants and assets, and ensure your premises remain compliant and prepared for any emergency.

Fire stopping is a form of passive fire protection used to seal gaps and openings in a building’s fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings. These gaps are often created when pipes, cables, or ductwork are installed. Without professional fire stopping, these “service penetrations” act as chimneys, allowing toxic smoke and flames to spread rapidly between rooms. Our specialist installations use intumescent sealants, fire batts, and mortars to maintain the “compartmentation” of your building, providing vital extra time for evacuation.
Fire compartmentation is the practice of dividing a building into “cells” using fire-resistant materials to contain a fire in its area of origin. This prevents a small fire from becoming a building-wide catastrophe. FMSG conducts thorough compartmentation surveys to identify breaches in your fire walls often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind risers. We then provide a detailed remedial plan to restore the structural fire integrity of your premises, ensuring you meet the requirements of the Building Regulations (Approved Document B).
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “Responsible Person” must ensure that all fire safety assets, including passive protection, are fit for purpose. Fire stopping is often damaged during routine electrical or plumbing maintenance when new cables are pulled through walls. We recommend an annual passive fire protection survey to ensure that any new holes have been correctly sealed. FMSG provides digital “Photographic Evidence” for every seal we install, giving you a clear audit trail for fire inspectors and insurers.
