New Firestopping Project at Greenhills Residential Home

We’re pleased to announce the commencement of a comprehensive firestopping project at Greenhills Residential Home, focused on strengthening compartmentation and protecting the interior of the building in the event of fire.

Enhancing Passive Fire Protection

Care environments require the highest standards of safety. Our works at Greenhills are designed to ensure that fire and smoke are effectively contained within designated compartments, preventing rapid spread through service penetrations and concealed voids.

Our scope of works includes:

• Installation of fire-rated sealants around service penetrations

• Fitting of intumescent pipe collars and wraps

• Firestopping to cable trays and trunking systems

• Sealing of linear joints and structural gaps

• Inspection and remediation of existing compartmentation

Each system is installed in accordance with tested and certified fire performance standards, ensuring compliance with current regulations and best practice guidance.

Protecting Residents, Staff and Property

In a residential care setting, protecting vulnerable occupants is paramount. Effective firestopping:

• Maintains fire compartments for their designed resistance period

• Reduces the spread of smoke through hidden cavities

• Supports safe evacuation procedures

• Minimises structural and internal damage

By upgrading and verifying compartmentation throughout the building, this project significantly strengthens the overall passive fire protection strategy of the home.

Quality, Compliance and Documentation

All works are being carried out by trained operatives using third-party certified products. Upon completion, the client will receive:

• Full photographic records

• Marked-up compartmentation drawings

• Product certification details

• Installation documentation for compliance records

This ensures complete transparency and provides a clear audit trail for future inspections.

We’re proud to support Greenhills Residential Home in enhancing its fire safety measures and safeguarding its internal environment for years to come.
