Residential Fire Stopping.
Help Maintain Fire-Resisting Construction.
Openings around pipes, cables, ducts and building joints can compromise fire-resisting walls and floors if they are not protected with suitable tested systems.
Trades 247 coordinates residential fire-stopping inspections and remedial works for landlords, managing agents, property professionals and homeowners nationwide.
We review the location, substrate, services, opening and required fire performance so an appropriate system and competent installation approach can be identified.

Fire Stopping FAQs
What is fire stopping?
Fire stopping uses tested products and systems to protect openings and joints in fire-resisting walls and floors, helping restrict fire and smoke spread.
Can ordinary expanding foam be used?
General-purpose foam is not a substitute for a suitable tested fire-stopping system. The product, services, substrate and opening must be compatible with the tested detail.
Do you provide photographs and records?
Yes, photographic and location records can be included in the agreed scope to support property and compliance files.
Can you inspect existing fire stopping?
Yes. Visible installations can be checked, although concealed construction or missing evidence may require further investigation or specialist design advice.
Is fire stopping needed in houses?
It may be required wherever services or joints pass through fire-resisting construction, particularly in flats, conversions, protected routes, garages and compartment walls or floors.
