Fire Stopping

Fire stopping can be defined as the sealing of any opening to prevent fire, smoke and heat from passing through building compartments. The spread of fire, smoke and heat can be contained by creating fire resistant compartments which segment a building both vertically and horizontally. It is essential that buildings implement fire stopping to restrict fire spread.

Partitions

Fire partitioning is a safety measure used in building construction that aims to stop the spread of fire. It involves constructing internal walls and ceilings that confine the fire to a specific room or area of the building for a limited period. This allows people to locate and use escape routes easily and also reduces damage to the building as only a specific section is affected.

Leeds Fire Stopping Regulations in the UK

Ark Fire Protection are experts when it comes to understanding the current fire stopping regulations in the UK. We can provide you with advice and guidance on which products would be best suited for your building, and ensure they are installed correctly.

The 2020 amendments to the Building Regulations Act of 2010 have specified requirements for Fire Safety in Volume 1: Dwellings. Buildings should meet these requirements to prevent the spread of fire through internal linings while also fulfilling other criteria:

The structure’s premature collapse is prevented.
Sufficient steps have been taken to maintain adequate distances between buildings and within buildings to prevent the spread of fire.
Automatic fire suppression systems are available wherever they are needed.
The spread of fire and smoke in cavities is restricted.

Furthermore, the document and its updates outline the correct procedures for implementing fire stopping measures. Our knowledgeable team can help you with this process to guarantee optimal safety.

Expert Leeds Fire Stopping Solutions

Adhering to building regulations is crucial to ensure that all new constructions and refurbishments incorporate effective passive fire protection measures in Leeds. These measures enhance safety by applying the principle of compartmentalisation, which involves dividing a building into designated sections to contain and control fires. By compartmentalising a structure, the spread of fire is significantly slowed, providing more time for occupants to evacuate safely and reducing the likelihood of extensive structural damage.

Passive fire protection is particularly important in large buildings, such as high-rise towers or facilities with extended evacuation times, like hospitals. In Leeds, a city known for its blend of historic and contemporary architecture, ensuring proper passive fire protection is essential for both safety and compliance with regulations. These systems are rated based on their effectiveness in containing a fire for a specific duration, providing a critical safety margin during emergencies.

At Ark Fire Protection, we specialise in providing passive fire protection services throughout Leeds. Our mission is to ensure that your building not only meets all safety standards but is also fully equipped to protect occupants in the event of a fire.
