Fire stopping

Source contractors for documented penetrations, gaps and remedial works.

When this work is needed

A report or site review has identified service penetrations, gaps or damaged seals. Clear location information and evidence about the construction help a specialist assess a suitable remedial approach.

Typical projects

  • Defects around services in risers or corridors
  • Remedial works following a compartmentation survey
  • Fire-stopping packages associated with refurbishment

What contractors need

  • Locations and reference numbers for the recorded openings, penetrations or defects.
  • Known quantities, photographs and available information about the surrounding construction and services.
  • Access to risers, ceiling voids and occupied areas, including any permissions or opening-up work still needed.
  • Whether you need investigation, a budget estimate or a detailed quotation, plus interfaces with other trades.

Unknown quantities and budgets can be clarified later. Tell us what is confirmed and what still needs investigation.

Who this service is for

Property managers, facilities teams, housing providers and commercial project teams procuring documented fire-stopping requirements in existing buildings or refurbishment projects.

After you submit your report

We organise the locations, scale and access requirements into an enquiry for review. Suitable contractor options are checked against the defined scope; the appointed specialist establishes appropriate systems and quotation assumptions.

Availability is checked for each project. If a suitable introduction is not available, we will explain that.

  1. 01

    Review your enquiry

    We organise the enquiry and clarify missing procurement information.

  2. 02

    Consider an introduction

    Scope, coverage and evidence are reviewed, with contractor interest and your agreement recorded.

  3. 03

    Agree the work directly

    You discuss assessment, quotation, programme and appointment directly with the contractor.

A defined scope

Relevant work packages

One enquiry can cover several requirements. Keep the scope, price and responsibility for each package clear.

Before appointing a specialist

Capture the locations and available photographs without prescribing a system from an image alone. The specialist should assess the substrate, service configuration, access and suitable system evidence before agreeing the scope and installation records.

PFL arranges introductions. Technical assessment, design, delivery and certification remain with the appropriate professionals; an introduction does not certify the building.

Practical questions

Before you send your enquiry

Can you select a fire-stopping product from my photographs?

No. Images help explain the requirement, but system selection needs appropriate assessment of the construction, services and supporting evidence by a competent specialist.

Can I enquire without an exact penetration count?

Yes. Mark quantities as approximate or unknown. The next step may be a survey rather than a fixed-price installation quotation.

What should the quotation and handover cover?

Ask the contractor to identify locations, assumptions, access and making-good exclusions, and the installation records to be supplied. Agree how variations will be recorded before work begins.

A report, a question or an outline scope.

You can start with any of these. Choose the route that suits your project.
