At Vesta Sol, we know that historic buildings carry more than just walls and windows — they hold stories, culture, and irreplaceable heritage. Protecting these unique structures from fire requires expertise, sensitivity, and specialist solutions that balance modern safety standards with historic preservation.
The Challenge of Historic Buildings
Historic and listed buildings often face unique risks:
-
Original construction materials that are highly combustible
-
Outdated electrical systems or heating installations
-
Complex layouts and hidden voids where fire can spread
-
Restrictions on structural alterations to preserve character
That’s why a tailored fire protection strategy is essential.

INTUMESCENT PAINTING OF STRUCTURAL STEEL WORK
Intumescent paint is a type of paint that expands when exposed to high temperatures. This expansion creates a protective layer of char that insulates the underlying material from the heat. Intumescent paint is often used to protect structural steel in buildings, as it can help to prevent the steel from buckling or collapsing in the event of a fire.
-
Increased fire resistance: Intumescent paint can provide up to 120 minutes of fire resistance, giving people more time to evacuate a building in the event of a fire.
-
Reduced risk of structural damage: Intumescent paint can help to prevent structural steel from buckling or collapsing in a fire, which can help to protect people and property.
-
Increased lifespan: Intumescent paint can help to extend the lifespan of structural steel, as it protects the steel from corrosion and other forms of damage.
FIRE STOPPING INSTALLATIONS
Penetration Sealing Systems include Intumescent mastics, Ablative Batts, fire barriers and fire compounds.
-
Time is of the essence when it comes to slowing down the spread of fire and firestopping when installed alongside other passive fire protection such as firewalls, can inhibit the spread of fire for up to four hours, allowing people to leave the building and the fire services to arrive.
AIR SEALING
Vesta Sol Fire Protection Exeter experts in cost-effective and highly efficient Air Sealing. We seal all joints and gaps within buildings to improve air flow efficiency.
-
Air leakage can be a major contributing factor to the spread of smoke and fire within buildings.
-
Sealing those gaps effectively not only protects against the spread of smoke and fire, it also contributes to a more energy efficient building, saving you money and protecting you assets.
CAVITY BARRIERS
Our Boarded Fire Protection systems offer excellent protection and the correct level of protection for your needs.
-
The regulation requires that buildings have measures in place to control the spread of flames.
-
Fire cavity barriers do just this – they help to divide and compartmentalise concealed cavities so that the fire is contained.
-
This helps to keep the fire in a single compartment rather than spread rapidly.
