Services
Fire Stopping Systems
Our fire stopping systems provide up to 240 minutes of protection for service penetrations and floor risers using batt slab and intumescent materials. These versatile solutions ensure compliance with fire safety regulations while maintaining structural integrity. Our trained operatives deliver durable, code-compliant installations for commercial and industrial buildings.
Intumescent Painting
We apply solvent and water-based intumescent coatings offering up to 120 minutes of fire protection for structural steelwork. These coatings expand under heat to form insulating char layers, preserving structural integrity during fires. Our systems balance aesthetic requirements with critical fire safety performance for new and existing buildings.
Fire Boarding
Our fire boarding systems use high-performance boards to protect steel structures, achieving up to 240 minutes of fire resistance. These impact-resistant solutions provide durable protection while maintaining architectural aesthetics. We install systems that meet exacting standards for commercial and public sector buildings.
Fire Barrier Systems
We install fire barriers to prevent fire spread in concealed spaces, including Rockwool and Fire Fly systems rated for integrity and insulation. These solutions compartmentalise voids in roofs, ceilings, and walls, delaying fire progression. Our installations meet BS 476 standards for critical fire safety applications.
Fire Protection Surveys
We conduct photographic surveys of large buildings like hospitals and schools to identify fire protection upgrades. Recent projects include Vale of Leven Hospital and Hairmyres Hospital. Our surveys document existing conditions and provide actionable recommendations for compliance with current fire safety regulations.
