Seal the gaps. Stop the spread. Stay compliant.
Maintaining compartmentation is a critical part of a buildings fire protection strategy, it involves sealing openings in fire-rated walls, floors and ceilings to prevent the spread of fire, smoke and toxic gases. These gaps are often created by essential services like pipes, cables and ductwork. Left unsealed, they compromise your building’s fire resistance and put lives at risk.
At FAFS Fire & Security, we deliver professional fire stopping services that protect your property and ensure full compliance with fire safety regulations. Whether you’re managing a single site or multiple buildings, we can help you stay safe and compliant.
What is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping refers to the process of sealing service penetrations in walls and floors to maintain fire compartmentation. It’s designed to contain fire where it starts and stop it from moving between rooms or floors.
Without proper fire stopping in place, even a small fires and smoke can spread rapidly and cause extensive damage.
We install tested and certified fire stopping systems that help buildings meet legal requirements and provide peace of mind for owners, occupiers and duty holders.
Buildings rely on compartmentation to slow the spread of fire. However, these compartments are only effective if every service penetration is properly protected.
Even small gaps can render a fire-rated wall or floor ineffective in a fire situation.
Our fire stopping systems are designed to:
- Reinstate the fire resistance of breached walls and floors
- Limit the spread of fire and smoke
- Support safe evacuation and firefighter access
- Minimise property damage and business disruption

Intumescent Sealants
Used to seal small gaps and joints around pipes, cables and building elements. These materials expand when exposed to heat to block fire and smoke.
Ablative Coated Fire Batts
High-density mineral fibre boards treated with fire-resistant coatings. Ideal for sealing larger voids or grouped services while maintaining fire integrity.
Penetration Seals
Flexible sealing systems that close around plastic pipes, protect cable trays, electrical bundles and ventilation ducts. They ensure critical services can pass through compartments without compromising fire resistance.
Fire Compartmentation
Compartmentation helps contain fire and smoke within defined areas, supports safe evacuation and slows the spread of fire throughout the building.
We provide specialist surveys to assess the condition and effectiveness of existing compartmentation, identifying risks, non-compliances and breaches.
