Why is fire compartmentation so important?

Fire stopping installations and other means of passive fire protection are by no means a luxury – they are a mandatory design requirement in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This is because even the slightest of cracks in the walls, floors, ceilings and doors of your building will enable smoke to quickly spread and could also accelerate a fire, leading to major structural damage, injury, or even loss of life.

All breaches through the lines of compartmentation need to be sealed with tested and certified fire stopping products to impede the spread of the effects of fire and smoke, and allow for the safe evacuation of people and assets in the event of an emergency.

By working in close partnership with market leaders, we can enlist the help of their technical support teams should we need any assistance with determining solutions to maintain the fire-resistance of compartments.

When should you call our fire stopping specialists?

As the owner or manager of a commercial and public sector premises, it’s your responsibility to implement and maintain a fire management plan/strategy.

It’s not up to your refurbishment company or facilities management team to make sure everything is in order – the responsibility is yours, and yours alone!

So, if you suspect that any breaches through your lines of compartmentation are not reinstated; that your previous fire stopping works have not been carried out correctly; and/or your workspace does not have a suitable fire management plan/strategy, speak to us to arrange an onsite survey.

We’ll identify any breaches through lines of compartmentation and make clear recommendations as to how to reinstate them.
