Cavity Barriers
Hidden spaces are where fire spreads fastest. Our cavity barrier installations close those routes off, keeping your buildings safe and compliant.
Closing The Gaps You Can’t See
Fire and smoke love a shortcut. Behind cladding, above ceilings and inside walls, open cavities can let a blaze rip through a building unchecked. Without effective barriers in place, other fire protection measures can easily be undermined, putting lives at risk.
We make sure those shortcuts are shut down. Our team installs and replaces cavity barriers that are proven to perform, recording every detail in Bolster Systems so there is no doubt about what has been fitted, where, and when. From new builds to live remediation, we do the job properly and leave you with records that stand up to scrutiny.
Our Service Offering Includes:
Installing cavity barriers in new and occupied buildings
Linking barriers with cladding, partitions and fire stopping
Remediation of missing, damaged or poorly fitted barriers
Full traceability with digital records and photographs
Why Cavity Barriers Matter
A single missing barrier can be the difference between a contained fire and one that spreads through an entire block. Once fire and smoke reach hidden voids, escape routes are compromised and damage can escalate quickly.
Cavity barriers are small pieces of a much bigger puzzle, but they protect every other fire safety measure in the building. When they are installed correctly, the whole fire strategy works as intended.
Legal RequirementsCavity barriers must be fitted to the manufacturer’s specification and included in routine fire risk assessments. If they are not installed or maintained properly, the building is not compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Building Safety ActThe Building Safety Act 2022 puts extra focus on hidden systems in high-rise and complex buildings. Cavity barriers must form part of the Golden Thread of Information, with records showing they are in place and fit for purpose. Our approach gives estates teams and building managers the evidence they need to prove compliance.
