About Fire Stopper Roles
Fire stoppers install passive fire protection systems including fire-rated sealants, intumescent coatings, fire barriers, and cavity barriers to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through buildings. This has become an increasingly critical trade following the Grenfell Tower tragedy and subsequent changes to building regulations. Hard Hat supplies qualified fire stoppers with manufacturer training and CSCS cards for residential, commercial, and refurbishment projects. Our fire stoppers understand the regulatory requirements and can work to BRE and ASFP standards.
