Frequently Asked Questions

Fire Stopping FAQs

What is commercial fire stopping?

It uses tested systems to protect service penetrations and joints in fire-resisting construction, helping restrict fire and smoke spread.

Can expanding foam be used?

Only a product and system tested and suitable for the exact opening, services and substrate should be used; ordinary foam is not a substitute.

Do you provide installation records?

Yes. Photographs, labels and location schedules can be included in the agreed scope.

Can you inspect existing fire stopping?

Yes, although concealed construction or missing evidence may require intrusive investigation or specialist design advice.

Can you support live buildings?

Yes. Access, dust, noise, permits and service constraints are planned with the site team before work starts.
