Intumescent Painting & Coatings

Intumescent painting is a specialist passive fire protection treatment typically applied to structural steelwork where specified. When exposed to high heat, intumescent coatings are designed to react and expand, forming an insulating protective layer that helps slow the effect of fire on the protected structure.

Why it matters

Structural steel can lose strength at high temperatures. Where a project requires fire protection to structural steelwork, correctly specified and applied intumescent coatings can help support the required fire performance of the building's structural elements.

Suitable for

  • Commercial buildings
  • Residential developments
  • Industrial buildings
  • Schools and universities
  • Hospitals and healthcare environments
  • Stadia and leisure facilities
  • Car parks
  • Refurbishment projects
  • New-build construction projects

Fire boarding installation protecting structural elements in a commercial building

Fire Boarding

Fire boarding is used to provide passive fire protection to structural elements and specified building areas where fire resistance is required. It can help protect steelwork, walls, ceilings, service areas and other construction details as part of the building's fire protection strategy.

Why it matters

Fire boarding can play an important role in protecting key parts of a building and supporting compartmentation. When installed correctly and in line with the project specification, it helps support the intended fire performance of walls, floors, structural elements and other protected areas.

Suitable for

  • Commercial properties
  • Residential developments
  • Apartment blocks
  • Schools and universities
  • Healthcare buildings
  • Industrial sites
  • Plant rooms
  • Service risers
  • Escape routes
  • Refurbishment and fit-out projects

Firestopping installed around service penetrations through a fire-rated wall

Firestopping

Firestopping helps seal gaps, joints and service penetrations in fire-rated walls, floors, ceilings and compartments. This can include areas around pipes, cables, ducts and other building services where fire and smoke could otherwise pass through.

Why it matters

Unsealed penetrations and gaps can compromise compartmentation. Firestopping helps maintain the intended fire resistance of walls, floors and other fire-rated elements, reducing the risk of fire and smoke spreading through a building.

Suitable for

  • Commercial buildings
  • Residential blocks
  • Schools and universities
  • Hospitals
  • Shopping centres
  • Car parks
  • Plant rooms
  • Service risers
  • Refurbishment projects
  • New-build construction projects
  • Building upgrades and remedial works

Fire door installation and inspection in a commercial corridor

Fire Doors: Installation, Maintenance & Inspection

Fire doors are an important part of a building's passive fire protection strategy. Passive Fire Protection Specialists provides fire door installation, maintenance and inspection services to help ensure fire doors are fitted, checked and maintained in line with the relevant project and building requirements.

Why it matters

A fire door is only effective if it is correctly installed, properly maintained and able to close and perform as intended. Inspection and maintenance can help identify issues such as damaged doors, excessive gaps, damaged seals, faulty ironmongery, damaged frames, missing components or doors that do not close correctly.

Suitable for

  • Residential blocks
  • Commercial buildings
  • Schools and universities
  • Hospitals and healthcare buildings
  • Shopping centres
  • Offices
  • Public buildings
  • Student accommodation
  • Care environments
  • Refurbishment and maintenance programmes

Drylining and joinery works on an internal fit-out project

Drylining & Joinery

Passive Fire Protection Specialists also provides drylining and joinery services to support passive fire protection works, internal fit-outs, remedial works and construction projects. These services help ensure fire protection works can be completed neatly and integrated properly with the wider building fabric.

Why it matters

Passive fire protection often connects with internal construction, finishing and remedial works. Having drylining and joinery capability allows Passive Fire Protection Specialists to support projects where fire protection needs to work alongside walls, partitions, doors, boards and other internal building elements.

Suitable for

  • Commercial fit-outs
  • Refurbishment projects
  • Residential properties
  • Public-sector buildings
  • Schools and universities
  • Healthcare environments
  • Fire door works
  • Fire boarding works
  • Remedial fire protection works

Air sealing works around building envelope penetrations

Air Sealing

Air sealing helps close gaps, openings and leakage paths within a building envelope. It can support building performance, reduce uncontrolled air movement, improve comfort and contribute to better energy efficiency where required by the project.

Why it matters

Air leakage can affect building performance, comfort and energy efficiency. Proper air sealing helps reduce unwanted air movement through gaps, cracks, joints and service penetrations. Where air sealing interacts with fire-rated walls, floors or compartments, it should be considered alongside the appropriate firestopping or fire-rated system specified for the project.

Suitable for

  • Commercial buildings
  • Residential developments
  • New-build projects
  • Refurbishment projects
  • Schools and universities
  • Healthcare buildings
  • Public-sector properties
  • Industrial buildings
  • Areas with air leakage concerns
  • Areas where airtightness performance is required

Diamond core drilling creating a clean opening through concrete

Diamond Core Drilling

Diamond core drilling is a specialist drilling method used to create clean, accurate circular openings through materials such as concrete, brickwork and masonry. It is commonly used for service penetrations, ventilation routes, pipework, cabling and other construction requirements.

Why it matters

Accurate drilling helps reduce unnecessary damage, supports cleaner installation of services and allows penetrations to be created in a controlled way. Where openings pass through fire-rated walls, floors or compartments, they should be considered as part of the wider fire protection and firestopping strategy.

Suitable for

  • Commercial buildings
  • Residential developments
  • Industrial sites
  • Plant rooms
  • Service risers
  • Car parks
  • Refurbishment works
  • Construction projects
  • Mechanical and electrical service installations

Stitch Drilling

Create larger or shaped openings by drilling overlapping holes through concrete, masonry or other hard materials.

Wall Sawing

Controlled cuts or openings in walls and vertical surfaces for construction, refurbishment and service installation.

Floor Sawing

Cut horizontal surfaces such as concrete floors, slabs and hardstanding areas for trenches and service routes.

Diamond Core Drilling

Clean, accurate circular holes for pipes, cables, ducts and other service penetrations.

Where penetrations or openings interact with fire-rated walls, floors or compartments, they should be properly considered as part of the wider passive fire protection approach.
