Q

Why is fire stopping important in a building?

A
Fire stopping helps maintain the fire resistance of walls, floors and other compartment lines after pipes, cables, ducts or other services pass through them. Without suitable protection, gaps around penetrations can allow fire and smoke to spread more quickly between rooms, floors or escape routes.

It is especially important in blocks of flats, care settings, schools, hospitals, offices and other multi-occupancy buildings. RS Specialist Contractors can carry out remedial fire-stopping works to address identified defects and support a safer, more compliant building environment.
