What Is Passive Fire Protection, and Why Does Your Building Need It?

The Safety System You Never See – But Always Need

Passive fire protection in London, often called PFP, is built into the structure of a building. It includes fire-rated walls, floors, doors, and special sealing systems. These features slow down the spread of fire and smoke.

Unlike alarms or sprinklers, passive systems do not need to be switched on. They work automatically.
Here’s why that matters. If a fire starts, passive fire protection helps:
  • Contain flames in one area
  • Slow smoke from spreading
  • Protect escape routes
  • Give people more time to leave safely
  • Reduce damage to the building
In the UK, fire safety is not optional. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, building owners and responsible persons must ensure proper fire safety measures are in place. That includes passive fire protection.
If your building is in London, staying compliant is your legal duty.

Complete Passive Fire Protection Services in London

We cover every part of passive fire protection – from first survey to final sign-off. Here is a full list of what our certified passive fire protection contractors in London can do for your building:

From First Survey to Final Sign-Off

Passive fire protection in London, often called PFP, is built into the structure of a building. It includes fire-rated walls, floors, doors, and special sealing systems. These features slow down the spread of fire and smoke.

Fire Stopping and Compartmentation

When pipes, cables, or ducts pass through walls and floors, they leave gaps. These gaps can allow fire and smoke to spread quickly.
We seal these openings using certified firestopping systems such as:

  • Intumescent sealants
  • Fire collars
  • Fire boards
  • Fire pillows
We also carry out compartmentation surveys to check that your building’s fire barriers are working properly.

From First Survey to Final Sign-Off

A fire door only works if it is fitted correctly and closes fully. Damaged seals, gaps, or poor installation can make it useless in a fire.
Our team supplies, installs, and inspects fire doors to British Standards. We work with timber, steel, glazed, and specialist fire doors for all building types. Regular inspections help keep your building compliant and safe.

Structural Fire Protection

Steel can weaken quickly in high heat. If steel beams fail, the whole structure is at risk. We apply fire-resistant coatings and board systems to protect structural steelwork. This helps your building maintain its strength during a fire and meet the required fire resistance ratings.

Passive Fire Protection Surveys

Not sure if your building meets fire safety standards?
We provide full passive fire protection surveys across London. Our survey includes:
  • Detailed inspection of fire barriers
  • Review of fire doors
  • Checks on firestopping systems
  • Clear written reports
You receive a full document explaining what is compliant, what needs improvement, and what actions to take next.

Fire Risk Assessments London

Most non-domestic buildings must legally have a fire risk assessment london.
Our qualified assessors inspect your building and provide a practical action plan. If issues are found, we can carry out the required work.
This gives you one clear point of contact from assessment to completion.

Fire Safety Upgrades and Remedial Works

Our team of professionals can conduct fire safety upgrades if your building failed an inspection or received a notice.
You will be kept informed throughout the remediation process as we follow a clear remediation plan. Our goal is simple: get your building compliant without delays.

Smoke Control and Air Sealing

Flames travel faster than smoke, causing serious injury.
The smoke seals and seal systems we install prevent the spread of smoke between compartments. This helps protect escape routes and reduce risk during an emergency.
