Fire Protection Services

Structure Steel Protection

At Original Fire Protection, our Structure Steel Protection service ensures that your steelwork remains robust and reliable in the event of a fire. We apply high-quality fire-resistant intumescent coatings, carefully selected to match the specific fire rating and environmental conditions of your building. These coatings swell under heat, creating an insulating char that preserves the structural integrity of steel beams and columns during a blaze. This not only helps to slow structural failure but also gives occupants and emergency services vital extra time to respond. Our expert technicians prepare steel surfaces meticulously - removing rust, applying primer, and topping with precise layers to meet your fire performance requirements. Whether it's new construction or retrofitting existing structures, we tailor our solutions for clean aesthetics and lasting protection, engaging in rigorous quality assurance to meet BS and EN standards every time.

Acoustic Barriers

Our Acoustic Barriers offer dual advantages: enhanced fire safety coupled with sound attenuation. Perfect for commercial and industrial settings where noise control matters, these barriers integrate specialist fire-rated acoustic panels or enclosures designed to resist flame spread while absorbing or reflecting noise. They're ideal around plant rooms, ventilation risers or servicing areas where machinery noise and fire protection requirements overlap. We consult closely to specify the right combination of acoustic materials and fire resistance ratings, ensuring that both regulations and occupant comfort are met. Installation is handled with minimal disruption, using non-combustible fixings and finishes. We also provide testing and certification post-installation, assuring you that acoustic performance and fire safety go hand in hand.

Fire protection Curtains

Our Fire Curtains are bespoke, controlled barriers that deploy automatically when heat or smoke is detected, forming a continuous fire-resistant barrier across openings such as atria, stairwells or large doorways. They offer a sleek and discreet alternative to structural walls, seamlessly integrating into ceilings or soffits when retracted, and deploying to contain fire at the touch of a moment - protecting escape routes and compartmentalising fire zones. Manufactured to the latest BS EN fire curtain standards, our units are tailored to each opening in size, drop speed and deployment method. We carry out thorough risk assessments and routine testing, ensuring each fire curtain responds reliably under emergency conditions. With maintenance packages available, you can count on enduring performance, compliance and peace of mind.

Air Sealing

Our Air Sealing service focuses on closing gaps and openings around doors, windows, service penetrations or wall joints - areas where smoke and fire can spread undetected. Using fire-rated sealants and fire collars, we seal these points to reinforce compartmentation and prevent smoke movement and flame transmission during a fire event. Comprehensive surveys are carried out to identify all vulnerabilities, from cable trays to ductwork penetrations. We then apply tailored solutions to meet British standards including BS 476 and BS EN 1366. Once completed, we document every sealed location and provide certification to demonstrate compliance with building regulations - and ensure you have the fire integrity your premises require.

Fire Alarms

Our Fire Alarm systems deliver reliable early-warning protection for people, property - and business continuity. Whether you need a conventional, addressable, or wireless system, we design and install alarms that meet your building's size, occupancy and risk profile. Integrated with smoke detectors, sounders and control panels, they provide swift detection and clear alerts to occupants, enabling rapid evacuation and emergency response. After installation, we conduct full commissioning and user training, and offer regular maintenance and testing to maintain system reliability and compliance with BS 5839. Should you require integration with access control, emergency lighting or fire detection networks, our experienced engineers ensure seamless operation. With system monitoring options available, you'll benefit from real-time alerts and ongoing peace of mind.

Fire safety support that starts with your building

Original Fire helps Essex property teams make practical fire protection decisions before installation, upgrade or remedial work begins. The first step is understanding the building, how it is used and what needs to be made safer.

Refurbishment or fit-out work

For projects where layout changes, new openings or upgraded areas need fire safety detail considered before work moves too far.

Managed or occupied buildings

For blocks, workplaces and commercial spaces where access, disruption and resident or staff safety need careful planning.

Inspection or risk actions

For property teams responding to risk assessment notes, survey findings or known gaps that need a clear next step.

Handover and records

For work where the completed scope, product details and follow-up actions need to be easy to understand after the visit.

Find the right fire protection route

Every building has a different risk profile. These service paths help you move from a broad enquiry to the right specialist support.

Fire door installation

For new doors, replacement doors or planned upgrade work where reliable installation, suitable ratings and clear documentation matter.

Fire compartmentation services

For surveys, remedial works and passive measures that help reduce the spread of fire and smoke through a building.

Facade recladding and compartmentation

For projects where external wall works, cavity barriers and compartmentation details need coordinated passive fire protection thinking.

Fire prevention support

For property teams that need a practical conversation about reducing risk, planning remedial work and keeping safety responsibilities moving.

How Original Fire keeps the work clear

Fire protection work is easier to manage when the enquiry, site access, scope and handover are clear from the start. Original Fire keeps the conversation practical so property teams know what is happening and why.

Understand the concern

Share the building type, access constraints, known risk points and any deadlines so the enquiry starts in the right place.

Agree the practical route

The team can help turn a broad fire safety concern into a clearer scope for assessment, installation or remedial planning.

Work around the building

Where premises are occupied or operational, access and disruption should be considered before work is booked.

Keep records useful

Fire protection questions from Essex property teams

Share the building location, how the property is used, the issue you need to solve and any inspection notes, photos, drawings or deadlines you already have. That helps the team understand the situation before advising on the next practical step.

Yes. If a risk assessment, survey or management review has raised concerns, Original Fire can discuss the actions, the affected parts of the building and the type of support that may be needed to move the work forward.

Original Fire can support property teams, landlords and managers responsible for buildings that are already in use. Access, disruption, safety responsibilities and communication should be discussed early so the work can be planned sensibly.

The right route depends on the building, the risk concern, the area affected and whether the work is installation, upgrade, remedial or planning support. The homepage route cards then point visitors toward the most relevant deeper service page or contact route.

Ask about the scope completed, product or installation details where relevant, any limitations and any follow-up actions. Clear records help responsible people understand what has changed and what still needs attention.
