Commercial Fire Stopping Manchester

Fire stopping contractors for commercial buildings across Manchester and Greater Manchester — offices, warehouses, healthcare, education, retail and industrial. New build, fit-out and remedial works, priced from your drawings or a remedial schedule.

Commercial buildings live or die by their compartment lines

In a commercial building, fire compartmentation is what keeps a fire — and smoke — contained long enough for people to get out and for the building to be protected. Every service that passes through a fire-rated wall or floor is a potential breach unless it is sealed with the correct tested system.

On busy commercial projects those penetrations get missed, opened up by follow-on trades, or never completed. That is where we come in — sealing penetrations, closing compartment breaches and carrying out the remedial works that get a building signed off and keep it compliant.

Commercial Fire Stopping FAQs
