Fire Stopper Recruitment Across the UK
Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying fire stoppers to construction sites across London, the M25 and the wider UK. We work exclusively in construction — no white-collar generalism, no admin temps — so when you register with us you go on the books of recruiters who actually understand the trade.
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.
Whether you are looking for your next fire stopper job, want a contractor to swap into a better-paying site, or you are a main contractor needing reliable fire stopper supply, we mobilise quickly. Most fire stoppers we register are working within 48 hours. We supply to Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors on residential, commercial, fit-out, civils and infrastructure projects.
