St Christopher’s School

A new school building with multiple structural interfaces and a fixed opening date required the installation of independently verified, compliant boarding and firestopping systems.

• New-build education facility requiring compliant structural boarding and firestopping throughout.
• Multiple interfaces between structural elements, walls, floors, and service penetrations.
• Requirement for independent third-party checks to verify installation quality and compliance.
• Works needed to align with programme milestones ahead of the school opening.

We followed a comprehensive Project Pack, with accredited operatives completing all installations, and an independent third-party inspection was coordinated to verify compliance ahead of handover.

• SFS installed fire protection board systems to designated structural elements in accordance with approved details.
• Firestopping works were completed using tested and manufacturer-approved systems, installed by FIRAS-accredited operatives.
• A comprehensive Project Pack was followed throughout delivery, detailing approved systems, QA requirements, and inspection points.
• All installations were recorded with photographic QA evidence and made available for review.
• Independent third-party inspections were coordinated to verify workmanship and compliance prior to completion.

All boarding and firestopping works were completed diligently, with compartmentation integrity achieved and full QA documentation prepared for handover.

• Fully compliant boarding and firestopping installations delivered across the school.
• Successful independent third-party inspections completed with no outstanding non-conformances.
• Compartmentation integrity achieved in line with the approved fire strategy.
• Full QA documentation and certification provided to support handover and ongoing building management.
