What Is Passive Fire Protection - And Why Does Your Building Need It?

The silent layer of safety is built into your building’s structure.
Passive fire protection (PFP) is a set of built-in fire safety measures that slow down or stop the spread of fire and smoke through a building. Unlike sprinklers or alarms that react when a fire starts, passive fire protection works all the time, even when no one is in the building. It includes things like:
  • Fire doors: to stop smoke and flames from moving between rooms
  • Firestopping: to seal gaps around pipes, cables, and ducts that pass through walls and floors
  • Fire curtains: to protect open spaces like lobbies and atriums
  • Cavity barriers: to stop fire from spreading through hidden roof and wall cavities
  • Fire curtains: to protect open spaces like lobbies and atriums
  • Intumescent coatings: to protect steel structures from heat and collapse
  • Compartmentation: to divide a building into fire-safe zones
Without these measures in place, a fire can spread quickly, putting lives at risk and leaving you liable under UK fire safety law.

Our Fire Protection Services in Kent

A full range of passive fire protection – all in one place
As a leading provider of fire protection services Kent wide, CA Fire Protection covers everything your building needs to be safe and legally compliant.

Fire Door Installation and Inspection

Fire doors are one of the most important parts of any passive fire protection system. We supply, install, and inspect fire doors across Kent. Our FDIS-qualified inspectors check every door to make sure it meets current standards.

Firestopping

Every gap around a pipe, cable, or duct is a potential path for fire and smoke. We seal these gaps using approved materials and methods, making sure fire cannot pass through your walls and floors.

Cavity Barrier Installation

Hidden cavities in walls and roofs can let fire travel fast without anyone seeing it. We install cavity barriers to block these paths and contain any fire within its compartment.

Intumescent Coatings and Painting

Exposed steel structures need protection from heat. Our intumescent coatings expand when exposed to fire, forming a protective layer that keeps steel from bending or collapsing.

Fire Curtains and Fire Glazing

For open-plan areas, atria, or staircases, fire curtains and fire-rated glass help contain fire while keeping the space functional day to day.

Passive Fire Protection Surveys

Not sure where your building stands? Our surveys give you a clear, written report on the condition of your passive fire protection, including what needs to be fixed and why.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Protection Kent

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often
What does passive fire protection actually do?
It slows down or stops fire and smoke from spreading through a building. It works by sealing gaps, installing fire doors, adding cavity barriers, and protecting steel structures. It is built into the building itself and works all the time.
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all non-domestic buildings, and many residential ones, must have proper fire safety measures in place. This includes passive fire protection. Failing to comply can result in fines or prosecution.
If your building has never had a passive fire protection inspection, if it is older than 10 years, or if it has recently been refurbished, it is very likely that you need a survey. We can carry it out and give you a clear report.
Firestopping seals gaps where pipes, cables, or ducts pass through fire-rated walls and floors. Every building has these gaps. Without proper sealing, fire and smoke can pass through them quickly. Yes — almost every building needs it.
It depends on the size of the building. A small commercial property may take half a day. A large residential block could take a full day or more. We will give you a clear time estimate before we start.
