Service Penetration Fire Stopping Manchester
Every cable, pipe and duct that passes through a fire-rated wall or floor breaks the compartment line unless it is sealed with the correct tested system. We close those penetrations properly — so your building holds its fire compartmentation and your handover or remedial schedule signs off cleanly.
The problem we get called in for
Open or badly-sealed penetrations are one of the most common reasons a building fails a fire compartmentation survey. M&E first-fix leaves holes around cable bundles, pipes and trunking; the wrong filler gets used; or nothing gets installed at all before the ceilings close.
On live projects this usually surfaces at the worst moment — a fire risk assessment, a building control inspection, or a client walk-round before handover. That is exactly the point where we are most useful: we can price from your drawings, a marked-up remedial schedule or photos, and get the penetrations closed to the tested detail.
What we seal
How we work
Survey or drawings
Send drawings, a remedial schedule or photos, or we attend site to record each penetration and the substrate it passes through.
Right system for the detail
We select a tested fire stopping system suited to the substrate, the services and the fire rating required by the building’s fire strategy, and install it to the manufacturer’s specification.
Install & make good
We work cleanly around other trades — in new-build, refurbishment and occupied buildings — and make good as we go.
Records on completion
Photographic records of completed penetrations are available on request to support your fire safety file and handover.
