Fire Protection
We have a national team of fire protection specialists able to offer expert advice for customers installing fire protection materials. We understand that fire protection can be a challenging and complex area of construction, which is why this dedicated team is on hand to assist customers with fire protection compliance.
Fire protection products and systems exist to reinstate fire performances, though it is crucial that the products selected are not only individually tested but tested together as part of an approved fire protection system.
Due to the complexity of fire protection, detailed information; such as scope of application or fire tests/assessment reports are required to allow robust product selection to complement all other construction systems and interfaces in each application.
Everyone in the fire protection package carries liability, therefore, products need to be, fit for purpose, tested and installed correctly by third party accredited companies where possible. We will work with you to ensure product compliance and recommend suitable third party accredited contractors for your project.

Building Envelope
Contemporary architectural design standards demand cladding options beyond conventional brickwork. Whether you seek high-performance rendered systems or extensive rainscreen solutions, the building envelope serves as a barrier against fire spread both within and beyond the structure.
By compartmentalising fires, it curbs their spread within the building and neighbouring structures. Through strategic supply partnerships, our Kitsons team facilitate the specification and acquisition of fully tested systems tailored to various building types, be it commercial, high-rise, or high-risk environments.
Fire Barriers
Fire barriers play a crucial role in containing fires to designated areas, helping to prevent spread to other sections of a building. This containment buys essential time for safe evacuation and enables efficient firefighting operations.
Positioned vertically along each party wall and horizontally on every floor, these barriers are integral to building safety. With a supply chain comprising reputable manufacturers of top-tier fire barrier materials and components, we guarantee access to dependable products that undergo rigorous testing and hold certifications for their efficiency in fire safety scenarios.
Fire Stopping
Fire stopping products are used to restore the fire resistance of compartment walls, floors and ceilings, helping to prevent the spread of fire through concealed voids within walls.
Our comprehensive range encompasses various products, materials, and techniques tailored to meet the specific requirements of your project.

Partnering with specialist suppliers and manufacturers, we deliver solutions for diverse service penetrations, effectively mitigating the spread of smoke or flames within buildings.
