Prioritising safety and ensuring compliance

PFP is essential for limiting the spread of fire between adjacent rooms, floors, and compartments, providing crucial time for safe, orderly evacuation and emergency service response.

Our comprehensive service covers all aspects of educational facilities, including administrative buildings, classrooms, laboratories, sports facilities and residential accommodation.

Key Goals of PFP in Education:

Protect Occupants: Containing flames within a single area, allowing students and staff to evacuate safely.
Prevent Asset Loss: Protecting adjacent areas from fire damage, preserving vital teaching resources and infrastructure.
Regulatory Assurance: Ensuring all facilities—including student residences—meet strict fire safety standards.

It is phenomenal to see the progress that has been made on the rebuild since demolition was completed in March… What really impressed me was the level of communication and cooperation you have generated… What gave me confidence today was the quality of the build I saw – no evidence that build quality is being impaired by schedule yet…
