Compartmentation is one of the most fundamental principles in building fire safety.

The idea is straightforward: divide a building into sections that contain fire and smoke long enough for people to evacuate and for the fire service to respond.

In practice, maintaining compartmentation across a live building is more complex. Every service pe*******on through a fire-rated wall or floor is a potential breach. That means pipes, cables, ducts and conduits all need to be sealed to the correct standard using tested details appropriate to the service type, the substrate and the gap size.

When this is done correctly and documented properly, the compartmentation works as designed. When it is not, the integrity of the entire floor or zone can be compromised by a single unsealed pe*******on.

This is why the detail matters. Not just the installation, but the record of what was installed, where, and to what specification.

If you have questions about compartmentation surveys, remedial works or new build scopes, get in touch.

The gateway regime under the Building Safety Act has changed how higher-risk buildings are designed, built and handed over. For passive fire protection, the practical impact is significant.

Gateway 2 requires fire safety information to be submitted and approved before construction begins. That means fire stopping strategies, structural steel protection specifications and compartmentation approaches need to be considered and documented at design stage, not resolved on site.

For main contractors and commercial teams, this changes the procurement conversation. Passive fire protection specialists need to be involved earlier. Scope needs to be properly defined before work starts, and the documentation trail needs to run from design through to handover.

We have been working through these requirements on live projects and the message is consistent: the contractors who plan for this early have fewer problems. The ones who treat it as something to sort out later are finding that later is more expensive and more disruptive than it needed to be.

If you have a project coming up that falls under the gateway regime and want to talk through the passive fire protection implications, get in touch.

A fire stopping survey is only useful if it captures what is actually there.

We have lost count of the number of surveys sent to us that cannot be priced from. No dimensions, no recommendations, no clear record of what was found. The client has paid for a survey and believes the job is scoped. In reality, the information is not there to work from.

On one job, we priced from the survey provided, were awarded the work, and arrived on site to find significantly more breaches than had been identified. The client had already paid for a survey. They then had to commission another one.

The issue is not always the surveyor's intent. It is competence. A fire stopping survey on an existing building rarely matches a tested detail exactly. It requires the knowledge to assess ad hoc situations, service types and current regulations, and work out a compliant solution when there is no straightforward spacing guidance to follow.

Someone walking around taking photos and noting holes is not the same thing.

If you are commissioning a compartmentation or fire stopping survey, check the background of the company carrying it out. The cheapest quote is rarely the one that saves you money.

We have always grown through the quality of our work and the relationships we build on site and in boardrooms with our clients.

That approach has not changed. What has changed is that we have now brought in our first dedicated Business Development Executive.

Mary joins us with a background in third-party certification, which means she already understands the compliance and quality standards that matter in this industry.

If you have upcoming passive fire protection requirements and want to talk through scope, programme or documentation, Mary is the right first point of contact.

Get in touch via the details below and we will make sure the right conversation happens.

We’ve just refreshed our website to make it clearer how we work, what we deliver, and the standards we hold ourselves to.

If you’re involved in live projects, planning future work, or reviewing fire safety on existing buildings, the new site offers a more straightforward view of our services, project experience, and approach to compliance.

Head over to https://jmpfp.co.uk/ to explore the new site. If anything sparks a conversation around passive fire protection on your projects, we’d be happy to discuss it.

Our day job is passive fire protection, but a lot of what we are proud of sits outside the usual nine to five. Local boxers grafting for titles, putting the hours in when nobody is watching, feel very familiar to us.

We are proud to sponsor two Liverpool based brothers in the boxing world, Peter and Joe McGrail. The way they train, deal with setbacks and keep moving forward is the same attitude we look for on site every day.

For us, backing people like Peter and Joe is a practical way of putting something back into the communities we work in. The results in the ring are theirs. We are just glad to play a small part in the journey.

If you are involved in a local initiative that ties in with construction, skills or giving young people a genuine chance, we are always open to hearing about it.

Progress is not just measured by the projects we complete, but also by how our people develop along the way.

In passive fire protection, standards come from more than a checklist. They come from clear expectations, proper training, experienced people on site and a team that understands why the details matter.

That is the culture we are committed to keep building.

We want people to take pride in the work, ask questions when they need support, and keep improving as they gain experience.

Specialist work needs skilled people. So we keep investing in the people doing it.

Another project win to add to the books. We recently headed to Damfield Lane, Liverpool, working with The Eric Wright Group on an extra care development that will provide 129 homes across both residential and communal spaces.

Our scope covers fireboarding and intumescent paint to structural steel, using Promatect XS fireboards and FX1007 intumescent paint throughout the site.

If you've got passive fire protection requirements on your next build, get in touch.

Ten years of JM Passive Fire Protection

Today we are marking ten years of JM Passive Fire Protection. It has been a challenging and rewarding journey, and we are proud of the team, clients and partners who have helped us get here.

John Maguire, Founder of JM Passive, has recorded a short message to say thank you and share what this milestone means for the business and everyone who has been part of it.

Thank you for your continued support.

Last week's training day at the Community Skills Centre on VINCI Building UK’s Ministry of Defence office development in Blackpool was exactly the kind of partnership we believe the industry needs more of. Bringing passive fire protection onto a live project gives learners a genuine look at what goes into keeping a building safe, not just a classroom overview.

We brought mock walls to site, walked through basic fire stopping details and then let the students get hands on with some of the tasks our operatives carry out every day. The goal is to make construction feel real and achievable rather than distant or intimidating.

All of the young people involved get to have the time with industry professionals and potential employers on a live site, to help them see what industry standards are, understand expectations and start to picture themselves in a specialist trade like passive fire protection if they choose to go down that route.

If days like this help even a handful of learners see a future in construction and take that first step towards training or a CSCS card, that is time well spent for everyone involved.

Social value has to translate into real opportunities. We see these sessions as the start of a journey into work, where taster days can lead to further training, work experience and, in time, employment within passive fire protection and the wider supply chain.

Thank you for including JM Passive Fire Protection in this programme and for the opportunity to collaborate with: Muse, VINCI Building UK, UK Ministry of Defence, Blackpool Council, The Platform | Blackpool, Blackpool and The Fylde College, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
