What is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping London — commercial and residential — is the process of sealing openings and joints in fire-resistant walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different compartments of a building. These openings are typically created for services such as cables, pipes, and ventilation ducts.
When left unsealed or inadequately sealed, these penetrations can compromise the fire resistance of the structure, allowing fire and toxic smoke to spread rapidly throughout the building. Proper fire stopping ensures that fire-resistant barriers maintain their integrity and continue to protect lives and property.
Fyrup carries out commercial fire stopping for offices, retail, hospitality, residential blocks, schools, and industrial premises across London — including the City, Canary Wharf, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, and the wider Greater London area.
Fire stopping is a critical component of passive fire protection and is required by building regulations to ensure the safety of occupants and emergency responders.
