  • Fire Doors

  • GA Fire Protection

    Fire Doors

    Fire doors are one of the most effective barriers to slowing a fire and preventing the smoke from spreading from room to room. In the UK, fire safety within residential and commercial buildings is governed by a comprehensive legal framework, designed to enhance the protection of occupants against fire risks.

    In 2024, it’s crucial for stakeholders, including developers and building managers, to stay informed about the key aspects of fire rated door regulations to ensure compliance and safety. We survey, supply, and fit a wide range of high-quality fire doors and have a wide range of doors to meet your requirements.

    It is vital that fire doors are fitted by experts. Our installers are fully competent, certified, and experienced in their trade, giving you peace of mind that your fire doors will comply with all applicable fire safety standards and regulations. We also offer a fire door maintenance service to ensure doors are maintained correctly and compliant with current legislation. Repairs can be completed if necessary to avoid a costly door replacement or failure during a fire.

  • Fire Stopping

  • GA Fire Protection

    Fire Stopping

    Penetration sealing systems are critical in maintaining the fire rating and preventing the spread of smoke between fire compartments in walls and floors where mechanical, electrical and general services are present, allowing more valuable time for people to exit a building.
    Building regulations stipulate that compartmentation of a building is necessary to control the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases. We offer a wide range of options to achieve penetration sealing including intumescent sealants, high pressure sealants, ablative batts, fire barriers, fire collars and wraps, and fire compounds.
  • Fire Boarding

  • GA Fire Protection

    Fire Boarding

    Fire boarding in new buildings is used to insulate or redistribute heat in addition to creating a flame-resistance compartmentation barrier. They are particularly suitable where higher fire ratings, between 90 minutes and 4 hours are required.
    They work by simply resisting heat, smoke and flames and helping to maintain the structural integrity of walls, ceilings and floors enabling an evacuation to occur safely. It is one of the most popular forms of fire protection, due to being lightweight, highly resistant to heat and easily installed in new buildings.
  • Fire Barriers

  • GA Fire Protection

    Fire Barriers

    Fire barriers within wall cavities slow the spread of fire and smoke between rooms during a building fire. The spread of a fire is reduced by building compartmentation and fire barriers form an invaluable part of this protection.
    By using fire-resistant material installed at the junction between an external cavity wall and compartment floor, wall and some internal cavities they help to slow the fire down and increase the amount of time people have to evacuate a building. Older existing buildings may not have been built with these as standard or may have been built before it was a legal requirement. As a result, their fire stopping provision should be regularly checked as part of their fire risk assessment.
  • Intumescent Paint

  • GA Fire Protection

    Intumescent Paint

    Intumescent paint can be applied to a building’s steelwork, to improve its structural integrity, should a fire occur. It is often considered the most cost-effective and efficient method of fire protecting structural steelwork.
    The paint will intumesce (or swell) when exposed to high temperatures, and form a carbon layer, char. This thermally insulates the steel protecting it from collapse. Clients can achieve a bespoke finish and colour, by application of topcoat, should this be required.
