PROJECTS

Vesta Sol provides professional fire boarding installation services across the South West of England. As experienced fire boarding contractors, we deliver compliant, high-quality passive fire protection systems for commercial, industrial, and residential projects.

We operate throughout Plymouth, Exeter, Torbay, Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, supporting new builds, refurbishments, and remedial fire safety works.

What Is Fire Boarding?

Fire boarding is a passive fire protection solution that uses fire-resistant boards to contain fire and smoke, protect structural elements, and maintain fire compartmentation. When correctly installed, fire boarding systems help slow the spread of fire, allowing occupants more time to evacuate and reducing damage to the building.

Fire boarding is commonly required to:

Achieve fire resistance ratings (30, 60, 90, 120 minutes)
Protect structural steel and load-bearing elements
Form fire-rated walls, ceilings, and enclosures
Upgrade existing buildings to meet fire safety standards
