Fire stopping

Loft & roof void compartmentation

Many older terraced, semi-detached and low-rise residential buildings have continuous, open roof voids with no fire separation between dwellings — letting fire and smoke spread unseen from one property into the next.

We reinstate compartmentation in lofts and roof spaces using fire-rated barriers and flexible fire curtains, re-establishing the compartment lines between homes so a fire is contained to where it starts.

Barriers and curtains are installed to tested, third-party-certified detail, following the building's fire strategy and the line of compartmentation below.

What we install

  • Flexible fire curtain barriers to roof voids
  • Compartment walls reinstated in lofts
  • Fire and smoke separation between dwellings
  • Open- and closed-state cavity barriers
  • Tested, certified barrier systems

Fire door maintenance

Engineered, life-saving devices — kept performing

A fire door only protects lives if it is correctly installed and properly maintained. Damaged seals, worn closers, excessive gaps or unauthorised repairs all compromise its performance at the very moment it is needed.

Why routine maintenance matters

Fire doors are tested, engineered assemblies designed to hold back fire and smoke for a defined period — but only while every component is intact and working correctly. Daily use, impact damage, painted-over seals and incorrect ad-hoc repairs steadily erode that protection.

Routine inspection and correct repair keep a door capable of doing its job — protecting escape routes and buying vital time for residents and the fire service. Get it wrong and the door may fail when it matters most.

Repairs must follow accepted techniques. We inspect, maintain and repair fire doors using recognised Accepted Repair Techniques under BM TRADA Q-Mark and FIRAS, so the doorset's certification and fire performance are preserved rather than invalidated.

Accepted repair techniques (PDF)

The legal duty to maintain

  • Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 — in residential buildings over 11m, responsible persons must check communal fire doors quarterly and flat entrance doors annually.
  • Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 — fire doors and other fire precautions must be kept in efficient working order and good repair.
  • BS 8214 — code of practice for the installation and maintenance of timber fire door assemblies.
  • Building Safety Act 2022 — an ongoing duty to identify and manage building safety risks.

Inspection, maintenance and repair should be carried out by competent, third-party-accredited installers.
