Passive fire protection services for new build housing developments
We specialise in delivering robust, fully compliant passive fire protection solutions for new build housing developments across the UK.
Maximising the fire safety of new build housing
The team at CMC Fire Stopping works closely with property developers, site managers, architects and contractors from the early design stages through to final completion, ensuring fire safety is seamlessly integrated into every element of the build.
Cost-effective fire stopping solutions
In new developments, early planning and proper execution of passive fire protection can make a significant difference to safety and also cost efficiency. By getting it right from the ground up, developers can avoid costly remedial work later and ensure they meet their legal obligations under current building regulations, including Approved Document B and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
Integrated fire stopping for safer homes
Our fire stopping services are designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke through walls, floors and ceilings, maintaining vital compartment lines. We work from current fire strategy drawings and collaborate with your construction teams to ensure all service penetrations and voids are correctly sealed using certified, tested products and methods. Whether it’s traditional brick and block, timber frame or modular builds, we adapt our approach to suit your project.
Fire door installation from the outset
If your properties require fire doors, such as between the garage and main property, we’re here to deliver. Properly installed fire doors are critical in providing residents with protected escape routes, and we ensure every door meets stringent testing standards. We also offer door set labelling and documentation for future maintenance and inspections, giving developers complete transparency.
Compliance-focused fire compartmentation
Our team conducts on-site assessments during key build stages to verify that fire compartmentation is correctly implemented before handover. We identify potential compliance issues early and offer practical solutions to ensure fire resistance ratings are met throughout all of your properties.
Structural steel protection for long-term integrity
For new build sites incorporating steel frameworks, we provide both reactive (intumescent) and non-reactive coating systems that deliver the required fire resistance without compromising construction timelines. We coordinate with your schedule to ensure timely application and inspection, avoiding delays to the overall build programme.
