Fire stopping is a vital component of passive fire protection systems designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments within a building. It involves sealing gaps and openings in walls, floors, and ceilings with fire-resistant materials to maintain the integrity of fire-rated barriers. At Gemini AMPM, we offer professional fire stopping installation, maintenance, and repair services to help ensure your building is fully protected in the event of a fire.
Trusted by
Fire stopping refers to the process of sealing openings and gaps in fire-resistant walls, floors, and ceilings, often caused by pipes, cables, and ducts passing through. These openings, if left unsealed, provide a pathway for fire, smoke, and heat to spread through the building, compromising occupant safety and the structure of the building. Fire stopping solutions are designed to stop this spread and prevent fire from affecting other areas of the building.

Why Fire Stopping is Crucial
Prevent the Spread of Fire
Fire stopping systems are designed to contain a fire within a specific area of the building, helping to prevent it from spreading to other compartments. This is critical for ensuring the safety of occupants and minimising the damage caused by a fire.
Regulatory Compliance
Fire stopping is a key requirement under UK building regulations for ensuring fire safety in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. Non-compliance can lead to legal consequences and increased risks to safety.
Maintaining Fire Compartments
Fire stopping helps maintain the integrity of fire compartments within a building, providing safe escape routes and limiting the spread of fire and smoke. This is particularly important in large buildings where fire can spread quickly through open gaps and unsealed areas.
We understand the unique requirements of each sector and tailor our fire alarm systems accordingly to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and optimal safety performance.
We collaborate with leading manufacturers and suppliers of fire stopping materials to ensure the highest quality protection for your building. Some of the trusted brands we work with include:
