Frequently Asked Questions: Fire Stopping

What is fire stopping in buildings?
Fire stopping is the process of sealing service penetrations, joints, and voids to maintain fire compartmentation and slow the spread of fire and smoke.

Is fire stopping a legal requirement?
Yes. UK Building Regulations (Approved Document B) require all buildings to maintain fire compartmentation. Fire stopping is essential for compliance.

How long does fire stopping last?
When installed correctly and maintained, fire-stopping materials can last the lifespan of the building. However, any new penetrations or alterations must be resealed.

Do I need certification for fire-stopping works?
Certification provides assurance that installations meet third-party-accredited standards. At Urmson Fire Specialists, we provide FIRAS certification for penetration seals and cavity fire barriers.
