Project overview
QSD were appointed to carry out specialist fire stopping works at The Ivy, Chester, a well-known hospitality venue located in the heart of the city.
Working within a live, high-end environment, our role was to ensure that all service penetrations were correctly sealed to maintain the building’s fire compartmentation and overall safety strategy.
Project Scope
-
Our fire stopping package included:
- Sealing of service penetrations throughout the building
- Installation of tested fire stopping systems, including batt and mastic solutions
- Ensuring all works complied with relevant fire safety standards
- Maintaining the integrity of compartment walls and floors
All installations were completed in line with manufacturer guidelines to ensure performance in the event of a fire.
Our Approach
Our team worked closely with site management to carefully plan and sequence the works. By maintaining clear communication and attention to detail, we ensured that all penetrations were correctly identified, treated, and recorded.
We used proven fire stopping systems to provide reliable, compliant solutions across all areas of the project.
The Outcome
The project was completed successfully, with all fire stopping works installed to a high standard and in line with the required specifications.
This project highlights the importance of passive fire protection in commercial buildings — helping to slow the spread of fire and protect both property and occupants.
Why Fire Stopping Matters
Fire stopping is a critical element of any building’s fire safety strategy. By sealing gaps and penetrations, it helps to:
- Maintain fire compartmentation
- Protect escape routes
- Slow the spread of fire and smoke
