Frequently Asked Questions

What is passive fire protection?

Passive fire protection includes measures like fire stopping, compartmentation, fire doors, and intumescent coatings that help prevent the spread of fire without requiring activation.

Is FIRAS accreditation important?

Yes. FIRAS is one of the UK’s most recognised schemes for third-party certification of fire protection contractors. Always check if your contractor holds FIRAS or similar (e.g. BM TRADA, IFC).

What kind of projects need specialist fire contractors?

High-rise residential, hospitals, schools, MOD facilities, and any building undergoing remediation or involving high fire risk materials will typically require accredited fire safety contractors.
