We Understand Your Challenges
As a dryliner, your main focus is partitioning and linings - but firestopping often falls into your package of works. The Building Safety Act and Gateway 2 requirements mean the way services pass through walls, floors, and ceilings needs to be carefully managed. We know that compliance can be complex, especially when firestopping isn’t your core trade.
-
Firestopping Outside Your Expertise
Your trade is building wall and ceiling systems, not fire protection. Yet you’re often expected to deliver firestopping without the same level of technical guidance or support, leaving you exposed to risk.
-
Poor Coordination
When services are installed before drylining, the holes cut around them may be too large or too tight to seal correctly. This leads to patch repairs, adding time and uncertainty to your work.
-
Confusion and Costly Rework
It’s not always clear who should firestop service penetrations. This lack of clarity often leaves dryliners responsible, facing failed inspections, rework, and disputes that hold up programmes and impact budgets.
Building Confidence Through Clarity
We work with dryliners to make firestopping straightforward. By engaging early, we help you avoid confusion and mis-sized apertures, giving you the clarity and confidence to deliver compliant walls and linings, which are compatible with wider firestopping systems.
Our technical team supports you from design through to installation, translating complex regulations into practical solutions that work on site. Instead of patchwork fixes and inspection failures, you can move forward with tested details, proven products, and expert guidance at every stage.
With Quelfire by your side, you save time, reduce rework, and hand over projects knowing your installations meet the highest safety standards.
