Fire Stopping.

At PML Fire Protection, we provide professional fire stopping services for all building types — from load-bearing walls and ceilings to service penetrations, cable routes, and ductwork. As BM TRADA–approved installers, we take pride in completing every job to the highest standards of quality and cleanliness, ensuring all fire seals are neat, durable, and compliant. Every installation comes with a detailed report so clients have clear documentation of all work carried out.

We can handle any fire stopping requirement, including fire collars around SVPs, linear gap seals, cavity barriers, fire batt pattressing, ventilated cavity closures, and sealing around pipes, cables, or ducts. Whether you’re protecting a new build or upgrading existing fire barriers, our team ensures your property meets all relevant fire safety standards.

Compliance & Guidelines.

Under the UK Building Regulations – Approved Document B, all service penetrations and linear gaps in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings must be properly sealed with materials that maintain the fire resistance of the structure. Fire stopping is a crucial part of a building’s passive fire protection system, preventing fire and smoke from spreading unseen through voids and service openings.

Regulatory guidance, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, requires property owners and responsible persons to ensure all fire-stopping measures are installed and maintained to the correct standard. Failure to do so can lead to enforcement action or invalidate building insurance.

Properly installed fire stopping can contain fire for up to 30 or 60 minutes (FD30/FD60 standards), providing vital time for evacuation and reducing property damage. At PML Fire Protection, we ensure every installation is completed to regulation, fully certified, and visually finished to a standard we’re proud to stand behind.
