Fire Stopping Inspection and Testing

Who is this for?

Responsible persons including building owners, landlords, facilities and maintenance managers, health and safety teams, and duty holders in commercial, industrial, residential, or public buildings with service penetrations – such as offices, warehouses, hospitals, schools, hotels, and multi-occupancy flats or HMOs. If your premises have pipes, cables, ducts, or risers passing through fire-resisting walls, floors, or ceilings, inspections ensure compartmentation integrity against fire and smoke spread.

Description

Expert inspection and testing of passive fire stopping systems around all penetrations, linear gaps, and cavity barriers to verify they maintain the fire resistance of compartment walls, floors, and protected shafts. Our FIRAS or UKAS-certified specialists examine seals, intumescent materials, collars, and wraps for degradation, improper installation, or damage from services, confirming compliance with tested systems and providing evidence of ongoing effectiveness.

What do you get?

• A comprehensive Fire Stopping Compliance Certificate documenting each penetration inspected (with photos, locations, and system details), a defect schedule, and prioritised remediation recommendations.
• Support for your fire risk assessment, building safety case (for higher-risk buildings), insurers, and fire authority audits.
• Proof that compartmentation measures are maintained.
