About Us

Passive Fire Inspection Ltd has been the leader in testing, certifying and inspecting fire doors for more than 20 years. Our industry experience and technical expertise uniquely positions us to partner with our customers to offer an independent and thorough analysis of their fire doors and frames.

In addition to performing your annual fire door inspections, as a member of The Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) and British Woodworking Federation (BWF) , we are able to evaluate and label compliant doors and frames, where appropriate. 

Fire door safety and functionality is critically important. Fire doors help save lives, mitigate property damage, and contribute to the safe egress of building occupants during an emergency situation. Whether your goal is compliance, risk mitigation, ensuring safety or all of the above, Passive Fire has a solution to meet your needs.

Per British Standards (BS:8214) , field labeling shall be performed only by individuals or companies that have been certified or listed, or by individuals or companies that are representatives of a labeling service that maintains periodic inspections of production of labeled equipment or materials and by whose labeling the manufacturer indicates compliance with appropriate standards or performance in a specified manner.

Our Approach

Fire stopping and barriers are important components of a building's fire protection system. We design solutions to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through the building by creating barriers that block the passage of flames, heat, and smoke. Fire stopping refers to the process of creating fire-resistant seals around openings and penetrations in a building's walls, floors, and ceilings. These openings and penetrations, such as pipes, ducts, and electrical cables, can provide a pathway for fire and smoke to spread between compartments in a building. Fire stopping materials, such as fire-resistant sealants, putty, and foam, are used to seal these openings and prevent the passage of fire and smoke.Fire barriers are physical barriers that are designed to compartmentalize a building and prevent the spread of fire and smoke. 

They are typically constructed with fire-resistant materials and can be used to divide a building into fire compartments. Fire barriers can also be used to protect stairways, corridors, and other means of escape, providing a safe exit route for occupants in the event of a fire. The installation of fire stopping and barriers is important for both new and existing buildings. In new construction, fire stopping and barriers should be installed as part of the building's design and construction. In existing buildings, fire stopping and barriers may need to be retrofitted to ensure that they meet current fire safety standards and regulations. Regular inspections and maintenance are also important to ensure that fire stopping and barriers remain effective over time. Any damage or deterioration should be repaired promptly to ensure that the integrity of the fire barrier is maintained. Overall, fire stopping and barriers are critical components of a building's fire protection system. They help to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, providing additional time for occupants to evacuate safely and for firefighters to respond.
