FAQ

What is passive fire protection, and why is it important?

Passive fire protection (PFP) refers to built-in safety measures designed to contain fires, slow their spread, and protect lives and property without requiring human intervention. This includes fire-rated doors, intumescent seals, fire stopping compounds, and more. It’s critical for compliance with UK fire safety regulations and for giving first responders time to act.

Can I bulk order or request a trade quote?

Absolutely. We offer trade pricing and bulk order support for installers, merchants, and contractors. Reach out via our contact form for a custom quote and lead time.

Are your products third-party tested or CE marked?

Yes. All our passive fire products are third-party certified and CE marked where applicable, ensuring full compliance with UK Building Regulations, including Approved Document B. You can find downloadable datasheets and certifications on each product page.

How do I know which fire stopping product I need?

We know passive fire protection can be overwhelming. If you're unsure, use our “Need help finding this?” section to explore by product category or contact our team for personalised guidance based on your project type.

Do your products meet UK fire safety standards?

Absolutely. Our fire stopping and sealing products are designed to meet or exceed British Standards, including BS 476 and BS EN 1366 series, depending on the product category. Our goal is to help you meet regulations without the stress.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-resistant materials?

Intumescent materials expand when exposed to heat, sealing gaps and preventing fire spread. Fire-resistant materials are built to withstand high temperatures without structural failure. Many of our products combine both to deliver reliable protection.

Can I install fire stopping products myself?

Some fire stopping solutions are designed for simple installation, while others require a certified fire protection installer to meet compliance standards. Always refer to product datasheets and local building codes or contact us for guidance.

What’s the lifespan of passive fire protection products?

Most passive fire products have a long service life, often exceeding 10–20 years if installed correctly. However, exposure to moisture, damage, or incorrect installation can reduce effectiveness. Regular inspections are recommended for ongoing compliance.

Can passive fire products be used in residential properties?

Yes, passive fire protection is just as crucial in homes especially in flats, HMOs, and new builds. Products like intumescent strips, door seals, and pipe wraps are often required to meet Part B of UK Building Regulations.

Can I retrofit your products into existing buildings?

Yes, many of our products are designed for retrofit use. We offer surface-mounted seals, retrofit grilles, and flexible pipe wraps that can be added without major renovations.

How do I know if a product is compatible with my door, frame, or wall?

Compatibility depends on size, material, and fire rating. Each product page includes fitting instructions and datasheets to help. Still unsure? Message us with your spec and we’ll match it for you.

What happens if a passive fire product is installed incorrectly?

Incorrect installation can void certification and fail during a fire, leading to liability and non-compliance. Always follow the manufacturer’s datasheet or consult a certified installer to ensure performance.
