A fully functioning fire alarm system is a critical component in any building’s fire safety strategy, but it must work seamlessly with other protective measures. Fire alarm remedial works often go hand-in-hand with passive fire stopping to ensure a comprehensive safety solution. After the installation of fire alarm systems and wiring, it’s essential to inspect, maintain, and rectify any deficiencies to ensure full functionality, especially where the installation crosses fire barriers or walls. At Gemini AMPM, we specialise in coordinating fire alarm remedial works with passive fire stopping to maintain the highest level of safety and regulatory compliance.

Fire Alarm Remedial Works
These involve repairing, upgrading, or replacing parts of an existing fire alarm system to restore full functionality, compliance, and reliability. Issues such as faulty detectors, control panels, or wiring are common reasons for remedial work.
Passive Fire Stopping
This is the process of sealing gaps, cracks, or penetrations in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. It is an essential component of fire safety, ensuring that fire barriers remain intact and that the fire alarm system remains fully operational by preventing fire damage to cables and components.
When a fire alarm system is installed, wiring often needs to pass through fire-rated walls, ceilings, or floors. Fire stopping ensures these penetrations are sealed, maintaining the integrity of the fire barrier and supporting the alarm system’s effectiveness. Any deficiencies or failures in fire stopping can compromise the building’s fire safety plan and potentially lead to the spread of smoke or fire.
Coordinated Remedial Services
After identifying any fire alarm issues, our team will also check for any breaches in passive fire stopping around the wiring and components. We offer both remedial fire alarm services and passive fire stopping repairs in a single service call for a streamlined solution.
Repair and Replacement of Fire Alarm Components
Faulty or outdated components such as detectors, control panels, or cables can be replaced or repaired, and we ensure these repairs are carried out in compliance with fire stopping requirements.
Upgrading Systems and Enhancing Fire Stopping
We carry out system upgrades to meet changing fire safety regulations and standards, including reinforcing or replacing fire stopping materials around the installed fire alarm system. This ensures the integrity of both the fire alarm system and the building’s passive fire protection.
Fire Stopping Repairs Around Alarm Systems
We provide passive fire stopping services to seal penetrations around cables and wiring, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards. If fire stopping has been damaged or compromised during previous works, we will address these gaps and reseal areas as required.
System Testing and Fire Stopping Checks
Following repairs or upgrades, we provide full system testing to ensure that the fire alarm works as intended and that all fire stopping is intact and compliant with regulations. This includes confirming that fire barriers remain sealed and that alarm systems are protected from potential fire spread.
Our team of qualified engineers is experienced in both fire alarm systems and passive fire stopping. This dual expertise allows us to deliver coordinated, comprehensive solutions that ensure your building’s fire protection systems work together seamlessly.
We ensure that all remedial works, repairs, and fire stopping installations comply with current UK fire safety regulations, including BS 5839 for fire alarm systems and BS 9999 for passive fire protection.
