Have tradespeople cut holes for pipes or cables through your fire-rated walls or floors? Those gaps need proper fire stopping. We provide compliant fire penetration sealing. We will safely close gaps in your buildings’ structures to meet the highest Australian standards, like AS .072. Let’s keep your building fire safe.
Every time services like electrical cables, data bundles, plumbing pipes or HVAC ducts penetrate fire-rated barriers (walls, floors, ceilings), the opening must be sealed correctly. Why? To maintain the barrier’s crucial fire resistance level (FRL) fire rating.
Unsealed penetrations are a major compliance failure seen across Sydney and NSW, allowing fire and deadly smoke to spread rapidly between compartments. Proper fireproofing using tested firestop systems is mandatory under standards like AS 4072.
All Passive Services expertly seal every type of service wall penetration. We identify and remediate breaches using certified, tested systems and materials like fire seals, restoring the required FRL for occupant safety and insurance purposes.

Every time a cable or pipe goes through a fire-rated wall, it’s a potential weak spot where fire can sneak through. Correct fire stopping is essential to maintaining that vital FRL and meeting compliance. Our professional service offers key benefits beyond just filling holes:
Stop the spread of hidden fire and smoke via complex service penetrations (mixed services bundles) with compliant fire sealing using tested systems matched to the specific penetrating element and barrier type.
Expertly restore your buildings barrier integrity (FRL) and potentially improve acoustic performance; we fix poor fire penetration work left by others, selecting correct systems (collars, pillows, mastics).
Benefit from ongoing fire maintenance services options to inspect and maintain seals, keeping them compliant per AS 1851.
Remember, correct sealing is vital before conducting annual fire safety inspections and complementing systems like fire dampers. Ensure every pipe penetration seal and cable gap maintains the required FRL.
Concerned about unsealed service penetrations compromising your fire barriers? We provide compliant fire stopping solutions. To assist you efficiently, please let us know the types of services penetrating (cables, pipes, ducts), the barrier types (walls, floors), and if you have existing compliance reports or concerns regarding fire penetration sealing.

Correctly sealing service penetrations is vital for maintaining fire compartmentation. Poorly sealed penetrations are one of the most common (and easily avoidable) defects found during annual inspections across NSW buildings. Here are answers to common questions about fire stopping:
Pretty much, yes! Any hole made for services (think data cables, plumbing pipes, air con ducts, conduits, etc.) going through a fire-rated barrier needs sealing with a compliant fire stop system. It has to be tested to standards like AS 1530.4 & AS 4072.1 to properly maintain that wall or floor’s specific fire rating (FRL) and stop smoke/fire zipping through. Check out all our passive services.
Firestopping integrity is a major checklist item during your annual fire safety inspections. If our inspectors find non-compliant fire seals (like gaps, the wrong product used, or insufficient installation depth), it gets flagged as a defect on your report. You’ll need proof of rectification before your statement can be issued.
Definitely! Let’s face it: we see a lot of dodgy fire penetration sealing (“cowboy jobs”). We specialise in fixing these issues. Our team will properly assess the situation, remove any non-compliant materials and install the correct, certified systems (like fire collars or tested firestop sealant) to achieve full compliance. Contact us for an assessment – we can sort it out.
Common errors include using non-tested systems (just standard gap filler!), incorrect product selection for the specific service or barrier type (e.g. using acrylic sealant where intumescent is needed for certain plastics), insufficient sealant depth, and missing the mandatory identification labels on completed fire seals.
Yes, AS 1851 requires routine inspection of penetration seals as part of fire maintenance. Damage can occur from building movement or later service installations disturbing the seal. Regular checks, tracked via baseline data, confirm continued compliance.
