Passive fire protectiondelivered properly.
Fire stopping, compartmentation and compliance managed through structured delivery, live QA and tested systems. Part of Shawford Group.
Two areas.
One standard.
Fire stopping and compartmentation: every install backed by tested systems, live QA and structured handover documentation.
Fire Stopping
Tested seals to penetrations, linear gaps, slab edges and façade interfaces, installed to tested and approved installation details.
Compartmentation
Compartmentation surveys, inspections and compliance reporting, then the remedial fire stopping to close every breach and bring buildings back into compliance.
A discipline in
its own right.
A compartment line is only as strong as the doors that pass through it. We treat fire doors as a standalone discipline: surveyed, installed, remediated and inspected as complete tested sets, not bolted on to a fire stopping package.

Passive fire protection.
Delivered properly.
Shawford Fire Stopping specialises in passive fire protection across commercial, healthcare, residential and live occupied environments.
We support projects from early engagement at design stage, through installation and live QA, to structured handover. Early involvement is where we add the most value: detailing risks flagged before they reach site mean faster sign-off and fewer remedials.
Our focus is delivering fire stopping properly through:
- Early engagement
- Tested, manufacturer-backed systems
- Live QA
- Clear traceability
- Professional handovers
We work closely with clients, site teams and the manufacturers whose tested systems we install, so every seal is installed in accordance with the relevant manufacturer's tested detail, and completed safely, compliantly and efficiently.
The golden thread,
maintained.
Every install captured live via OneTrace (location, photographs, product data, inspection records) and handed over as structured O&M information the client can actually use.
Read the approachLocation-based records
Every install plotted against floor plans: a clear, traceable position for every seal, barrier and door.
Installation photographs
Photographic evidence captured at install time, tied to the location record. No retro-fitted documentation.
Product traceability
Product data sheets, batch numbers and tested-detail references linked to every installation entry.
Inspection records
Structured QA inspections recorded against each work area, surfacing exceptions before handover.
Structured O&M information
Operation and maintenance information delivered in a structured, accessible format the client can actually use.
Handover support
Direct engagement with the client team through the handover window: questions answered, gaps closed.
Six things we
get right.
Technical backing and tested systems, from early engagement at design stage through to QA and handover: the same thread runs through every project we take on.
A single discipline
Fire stopping and compartmentation are our whole focus, not a side trade bolted onto another package.
Early engagement
Brought in at design stage to surface detailing clashes, access constraints and product gaps before they reach site. It's one of the things that sets us apart: faster sign-off, fewer remedials.
Tested systems, manufacturer-backed
Every seal installed to a tested and approved installation detail, supported by direct working relationships with the manufacturers whose systems we fit.
Surveys & remedials
Compartmentation surveys, breach identification and the remedial fire stopping to close them: one team from survey through to sign-off.
OneTrace live QA
Every installation logged in OneTrace as it happens: photos, products and location plotted against the drawings.
Structured handovers
Documented O&M information, traceable records and defects-period support: we carry projects through to QA and handover, not install and leave.
