Why Passive Fire Protection Matters
Passive fire protection isn’t about reacting to fire — it’s about preventing it from spreading in the first place. It forms the foundation of a building’s fire safety strategy, working invisibly yet powerfully to contain fire, protect escape routes, and maintain structural integrity long enough for safe evacuation and firefighting efforts.
BritCut’s team of expert fire stopping contractors specialises in installing systems that resist the spread of smoke and flames through walls, floors, and ceilings, ensuring that every detail meets current UK Building Regulations and BS 476 / EN 1366 standards.
Whether it’s a high-rise development, commercial property, or residential refurbishment, BritCut provides solutions built on safety, skill, and certification.
Comprehensive fire stopping installation
Every building is unique, and so are its fire protection needs. BritCut offers a complete range of fire stopping installation services, designed to fit seamlessly into new builds, refurbishments, and retrofit projects alike.
Our Services Include:
1. structural fire protection
Protecting the core structure of your building is crucial. BritCut’s structural fire protection services include the application of fire-resistant coatings and boarding systems to steel, concrete, and timber elements. These treatments slow down heat transfer, maintaining load-bearing strength during a fire.
2. intumescent coating specialists
As leading intumescent coating specialists, BritCut uses advanced, certified products to coat structural steel. When exposed to heat, these coatings expand to form an insulating barrier, delaying structural failure and providing vital extra time for safe evacuation.
3. fire compartmentation services
Proper compartmentation ensures that fire and smoke are contained within defined zones. BritCut designs and installs complete fire compartmentation services including fire walls, ceilings, floors, and service penetrations — maintaining integrity and insulation ratings across your building.
4. cavity barrier installation
Fire can spread rapidly through hidden voids and cavities. BritCut provides professional cavity barrier installation to block these routes, preventing unseen fire movement between floors, walls, and façade systems.
5. Sealants and Penetration Seals
Every service penetration — cables, ducts, pipes — can become a weak point in fire safety. BritCut installs fire-rated sealants, wraps, and collars that restore the integrity of fire-rated walls and floors once penetrations are made.
