Fire Stopping Services
Fire stopping is a key element of compartmentalisation, itself a design feature of buildings created to contain a fire for long enough to allow people to evacuate safely. Here at Surrey Tech Services Ltd, we offer fire stopping services to help you keep the people in your building safe.
Fire stopping measures help to seal any gaps, holes or openings that would otherwise allow flames and smoke to spread. So, wherever you are in London and the Home Counties – including Maidenhead, Guildford and Slough – look no further for comprehensive services for your building.
What Is Fire Stopping In A Building?
Fire stopping as a passive fire protection measure for any building can be applied to many areas, including walls, floors, ceilings and voids. Gaps can appear in several ways, compromising parts of your structure that are designed to create robust building compartments. Here are just a few instances where fire stopping can be useful:
- Where holes have been drilled into walls and ceilings by remedial works
- Where floors and walls have expanded or contracted, leaving gaps
- Where pipes, cables or beams have created openings at the point where they meet a wall/ceiling
- Where a hole remains after infrastructure has been removed
