Concrete is inherently resistant to fire, but age, structural alterations, or damage can compromise its performance.
Over time, spalling, insufficient cover, or exposure to heat can reduce the material’s ability to protect embedded reinforcement, affecting the building’s overall stability in a fire.
In refurbishment or change-of-use projects, fire resistance ratings often need to be increased to meet current Building Regulations or insurance requirements.
At Structural Fireproofing Systems Ltd (SFS), we specialise in upgrading and restoring the fire resistance of concrete elements using cementitious spray systems and soffit board linings.

Lightweight, pump-applied coatings that provide consistent fire protection across large concrete surfaces such as soffits, beams and slabs. Applied to achieve required fire-resistance periods of 60–240 minutes.

Fire-resistant board systems mechanically fixed to concrete soffits to increase fire performance while providing a smooth, aesthetic finish.

We deliver the complete passive fire protection package – managing every stage of the process from design coordination and specification through to installation, inspection, and certification.
