Commercial Passive Fire Protection – London & Home Counties
Commercial buildings vary considerably in size, construction and use, but effective passive fire protection remains essential to help contain fire and smoke and protect people within the building. Offices, retail premises, industrial buildings, warehouses and other commercial properties can all rely on fire doors, compartmentation, fire stopping and structural fire protection as part of their overall fire strategy.
Prospect Fire provides specialist passive fire protection for commercial buildings across London and the Home Counties, supporting property owners, developers, contractors and facilities teams with surveys, installations and remedial works.
Commercial Fire Door Surveys & Installation in London
Fire doors are found throughout commercial buildings, including offices, corridors, stairwells, plant rooms, communal areas and escape routes. Our fire door surveys assess:
- Door leaves and frames
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Hinges and ironmongery
- Door closers
- Glazing
- Threshold seals
- Signage and hardware
- Frame-to-substrate fire sealing
- Installation quality and certification
Where required, we can provide new fire doors, upgrades, maintenance and repairs using appropriate products and installation methods.
Commercial Fire Stopping & Compartmentation
Commercial properties often contain complex networks of electrical, mechanical, plumbing and ventilation services.
Where these services pass through fire-resisting walls and floors, suitable fire stopping is required to help maintain compartmentation.
Prospect Fire’s fire stopping services across London and the Home Counties include:
- Service penetrations
- Cable and pipework penetrations
- Risers
- Service voids
- Fire-rated walls and floors
- Linear joint seals
- Intumescent wraps and collars
- Cavity barriers
- Fire curtains
- Non-standard fire stopping details
All installations are recorded through our digital reporting system, providing a clear record of the work completed.
Passive Fire Protection for Commercial Refurbishments
Commercial refurbishments and fit-outs can affect existing passive fire protection.
New electrical and mechanical services can create penetrations through compartment walls and floors, while alterations to walls, ceilings and doors can affect existing fire-resisting construction.
Prospect Fire can work alongside main contractors, developers and other project teams across London to provide passive fire protection during construction, refurbishment and remedial programmes.
Our services can include:
- Fire door installation and upgrades
- Fire stopping
- Fire walls
- Compartmentation works
- Structural steel protection
- Surveys and inspections
Structural Steel Fire Protection
Structural steel needs appropriate protection where required to maintain its load-bearing performance during a fire. Prospect Fire provides structural steel protection using tested systems, including intumescent coatings and fire protection cladding depending on project requirements. Our team can work with architects and main contractors to provide appropriate specifications and installation at different stages of construction.
Digital Fire Safety Records with Onetrace
For commercial property owners and facilities teams, keeping accurate records of passive fire protection can be just as important as completing the work itself. Prospect Fire uses Onetrace to digitally record fire safety installations and inspections, providing:
- QR-coded fire safety records
- Time-stamped inspection and installation information
- Before and after photographs
- Product and certification details
- Digital records of remedial works
- Structured documentation for O&M requirements
The system provides a clear evidence trail that can be accessed and maintained as part of ongoing building management.
