Fire Stopping & Compartmentation
A pipe passing through a wall, a cable route above a ceiling or a joint between building elements. These details can be easily overlooked, but they matter to the continuity of a building’s fire compartmentation.
Compartmentation Surveys
Kelvin Fire Ltd delivers full compartmentation survey service in Glasgow and throughout the UK. We help main contractors, housing associations, facilities management providers and public sector organisations investigate concerns, address identified defects and complete planned improvement works.

Looking Beyond the Surface
Fire compartmentation divides a building into separate areas intended to restrict the spread of fire and smoke. Fire stopping forms part of that protection, addressing openings and joints where services or construction details interrupt compartment boundaries.
Changes to a building can introduce new openings or disturb existing protection. Refurbishment, maintenance and the installation of electrical or mechanical services can all create areas that need attention.
Our role is to help clients understand the condition of the areas examined and carry out an agreed scope of work appropriate to the building and project.
Whether you have defects identified in a survey or require fire stopping as part of a wider project, we work with your team to establish what needs to be done.

Fire Stopping Installation & Remedial Works
Depending on the agreed scope, works may include:
- Fire stopping around service penetrations through compartment walls and floors.
- Addressing gaps and joints at compartment boundaries.
- Remedial work to damaged, incomplete or unsuitable existing fire stopping.
- Reinstating protection following service alterations or refurbishment.
- Associated building and joinery works needed to support the repairs.
Material selection and installation details must suit the particular application. We approach each location with attention to the supporting construction, services present and relevant system requirements.
Working Around the People in Your Building
Many of the buildings we work in remain occupied throughout the project. Our team brings extensive experience in hospitals, care homes, hotels, student accommodation and social housing.
That experience shapes how we organise the work. Access, sequencing and coordination with other trades all need careful consideration, alongside the needs of residents, staff and building users.
We work closely with your team to minimise disruption and maintain clear communication as the project progresses.
From a small package of repairs to a larger programme across several properties, Kelvin Fire brings a straightforward approach: understand the requirements, agree the scope and deliver the work with care.
