Frequently asked questions about fire stopping in Hatfield

What is fire stopping in Hatfield?
Fire stopping is the sealing of gaps and penetrations through fire-resisting walls and floors using systems tested to maintain the fire and smoke resistance of the original element. It is how the building's compartmentation strategy is held together over its life. The final specification for a Hatfield premises is always confirmed on site — how the building is constructed, occupied and insured can all change what we recommend.
What standards does your fire stopping meet in Hatfield?
Our installations follow third-party tested details to BS EN 1366-3 (penetration seals) or BS EN 1366-4 (linear gap seals), with installation practice aligned to FIRAS, IFC Certification and ASFP guidance.
Why can't builders just use expanding foam in Hatfield?
Expanding foam has no fire test evidence for the substrates and services it is being applied to. Building control, insurers and the Building Safety Regulator require third-party tested systems for fire-rated penetrations.
