Fire Safety FAQ’s

What fire safety services does Concept provide?

Concept delivers comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) programmes for our clients nationwide. Our capabilities span from initial risk identification and reporting through to complete remedial and installation works.

Our services include:

  • Fire Door Replacement
  • Fire Door Sets
  • Compartmentation
  • Emergency Lighting
  • Penetration Seals
  • Cladding
  • Smoke and Fire Alarms
  • Sprinkler Systems
  • Cavity Barriers

All our manufacturing carries third-party accreditations from FIRAS, BM Trada, or IFC. Our installation teams hold individual accreditation from these same bodies, ensuring the highest standards of workmanship.

What are active fire protection solutions?

Active fire protection systems respond dynamically to detect, suppress or facilitate escape during a fire event. These include both manual and automated systems such as AFD (Automated Fire Detection), AOV (Automatic Opening Vents), emergency lighting installations, fire detection networks, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems and wayfinding signage.

What are passive fire protection solutions?

Passive fire protection works by containing and slowing the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. Concept installs cavity barriers, fire batts, pillows, sleeves, curtains, collars and wraps, firestops, penetration seals and Firetherm Intudeck systems in loft spaces to create effective fire containment zones.

How do active and passive fire protection work together?

Active and passive fire protection strategies are complementary elements of a comprehensive building fire safety strategy. Passive measures contain and slow fire spread, whilst active systems detect and suppress fires or aid evacuation, creating a layered defence approach.

What is compartmentation and why is it important?

Compartmentation involves dividing a building into separate fire-resistant ‘compartments’ designed to contain and suppress fire spread. Each compartment is reinforced with fire-resistant materials and protective measures including fire doors and cavity barriers, limiting fire progression and protecting escape routes.

How do sprinkler systems operate?

Sprinkler systems activate in response to elevated temperatures. When installed, individual sprinkler heads will discharge water across a room once temperatures reach 60-70 degrees Celsius.

Who carries out Concept’s fire safety works?

Our team brings over 20 years of specialist experience to every project. As members of all relevant compliance and regulatory bodies, our professionals hold the qualifications and training necessary to deliver expert fire safety solutions.

Fire risk assessment and remedial works should only be conducted by experienced, certified specialists like our team at Concept. We possess the essential knowledge and qualifications to assess fire risks accurately, specify appropriate fire-stopping measures, and deliver works to the highest quality and compliance standards.

Can fire protection measures be added to existing buildings?

Yes. Concept regularly retrofits fire protection solutions in existing buildings that require upgrades to meet current fire safety standards. Our retrofitting process involves comprehensive fire risk assessment, identification of deficient areas, and implementation of appropriate fire-stopping measures to enhance the building’s overall fire protection performance.
