Structural Fire Protection
Change24Ltd
Structural fire protection is designed to safeguard a building’s essential load-bearing elements, such as steel or concrete frames, from the effects of fire.
By preventing structural failure during a fire, these measures help maintain the integrity of the building, protect occupants, and provide critical time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.
Without proper protection, steel can lose strength and concrete can spall when exposed to high temperatures, leading to partial or total structural collapse. Structural fire protection ensures that key components can withstand fire long enough to allow safe evacuation and minimise property damage.
Fire Stopping - An essential Part of Fire Protection
Fire stopping is a vital element of fire protection systems. It involves sealing openings, gaps, joints, and service penetrations — such as cable trays, pipes, and ducts — within fire-resistance rated walls, floors, ceilings, and voids.
The purpose of fire stopping is to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through concealed spaces and between compartments, helping to contain the fire to its origin and protect escape routes. Properly installed fire stopping systems play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of a building’s fire compartments and ensuring that fire-resisting elements perform as intended.
Fire stopping solutions are designed and installed in line with your building’s fire strategy and must comply with UK Building Regulations and relevant British Standards. Whether in commercial developments, residential buildings, or mixed-use properties, compliant fire stopping helps protect lives, safeguard property, and support full regulatory compliance.
Our experienced team provides complete fire stopping solutions using certified materials, installed and documented to the highest standards — giving you confidence that your building’s fire compartments remain effective and compliant.
Certified Solutions for Every Structure
We provide a range of certified fire protection solutions tailored to your building’s design and materials, including:
- Fire-resistant coatings and sprays for steel
- Fire-rated cladding and encasements
- Fireproof boards and partitions
- Fire-stopping around structural penetrations
Structural fire protection must be applied correctly to perform as tested. Our trained and accredited installers follow manufacturer guidelines and UK fire safety standards to ensure maximum protection. Improper installation or incorrect materials can significantly reduce fire resistance and compromise safety.

All our structural fire protection work complies with UK building regulations and British Standards. We provide full documentation and certification, giving building owners, managers, and contractors confidence that their structures are properly protected against fire.
Structural fire protection is more than a legal requirement — it’s an investment in safety. With our expert advice, certified products, and professional installation, you can be confident that your building’s core elements are safeguarded against fire hazards.
These guys make it look so easy
The QR systems they have in place make it so easy, I simply scan the QR code on the door and can see the latest Fire Door Inspection Report, the library also holds all relevant information on the door, when it was purchased, the fire rating and next inspection due date.
