What is FireStopping?
Fire stopping is the process of sealing openings and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings where services such as pipes, cables, or ducts pass through. Its purpose is to prevent the spread of fire, heat, and smoke, helping to protect occupants, property, and structural integrity. Compliant fire stopping is a critical part of passive fire protection and is essential for building safety and regulatory compliance.
Key Points About Fire Stopping:
- Seals service penetrations: Pipes, cables, ducts, and conduits are safely sealed to maintain compartmentation.
- Protects escape routes: Prevents fire and smoke from spreading into corridors, stairwells, and exits.
- Maintains structural integrity: Helps contain fire to its origin, reducing overall damage.
- Ensures compliance: Installed in line with UK fire safety regulations and British Standards.
- Uses tested solutions: Includes intumescent sealants, fire collars, wraps, batt boards, and modular transit systems.
- Tailored for each building: Solutions vary depending on building type, service type, and substrate.
- Traceable and documented: All installations can be recorded for compliance and audit purposes.

Experts in Fire Stopping Services
Today’s buildings incorporate significantly more combustible materials than in the past, and fires in modern structures can spread 5 to 10 times faster than before (CTIF.org). This makes effective fire protection more critical than ever.
New constructions also feature numerous pipes, HVAC ducts, and other penetrations through walls and floors, creating potential weak points where smoke, heat, and flames could escape if not properly sealed.
With years of expertise and extensive experience on projects across the UK providing tailored solutions, RiskFire knows how to address these challenges. Our firestopping products and services seal gaps and reinforce weak points, blocking hot gases, toxic smoke, and flames — keeping your building, occupants, and neighbouring properties safer.
