At City Fire Proofing Ltd, we recognise the importance of protecting buildings, people, and assets from the risks associated with fire. Our work as fire remediation contractors goes beyond installing protective systems – it’s about ensuring every part of a structure meets the standards required to contain and slow down the spread of fire. With years of experience in the field, we have seen how the right approach to fire safety can make all the difference in preventing damage and safeguarding lives.

The Role of Fire Remediation Contractors

As fire remediation contractors, we focus on making sure that buildings are properly prepared to handle fire incidents. Fire safety isn’t just about alarms and extinguishers – it involves passive protection measures that keep the structure stable long enough for evacuation and emergency response.

Our team installs systems, including intumescent coatings, boarded solutions, and cementitious spraying. Each method plays a role in maintaining the integrity of structural steel and other critical parts of a building. For example, intumescent painting can protect steelwork for up to two hours, while boarded or cementitious systems can extend that to four hours. These protective layers give people valuable time to escape and reduce the risk of collapse.

Why Fire Door Surveys Matter

Alongside structural fire protection, we place great importance on carrying out a fire door survey. Fire doors are one of the most effective barriers against the spread of fire and smoke. However, their effectiveness relies on correct installation, regular checks, and maintenance.

A fire door survey helps identify any weaknesses, such as gaps around the frame, damaged seals, or faulty closers. Even small issues can mean a door will not perform as expected during a fire. Our surveys promptly highlight these problems, allowing for repairs or replacements to be arranged without delay. This proactive approach ensures fire doors continue to provide the intended level of safety.

Creating Safer Buildings

When we take on a project, our goal is to integrate various elements of fire protection into a comprehensive solution. Structural protection systems maintain the building’s stability, while fire doors and cavity barriers slow the movement of fire and smoke between compartments. Together, these measures give occupants and emergency services the time they need.

We also understand that every building is different. Whether it’s a commercial space, residential block, or industrial facility, we assess the specific requirements and provide tailored solutions. Fire safety regulations are strict, and rightly so; however, with the right approach, compliance can be straightforward and effective.
