It quickly became apparent that very few suppliers or installers could meet the huge challenges the project presented. Thankfully, due to the national importance of the project, Sharpfibre were able to meet these challenges. Installing over 13,000m2 of Durasteel and 5,500m2 of Vermiculux S to provide 4-hour compartment walls, ceilings and protection to structural steelwork in a matter of weeks.

Sharpfibre dealt with multiple design, installation and co-ordination problems throughout the project. Remarkably given the volume of work completed, the installation was of extremely high quality as observed by the multiple site inspections undertaken during installation by Etex Building Performance.

Sharpfibre were brave to even attempt a job of this scale and have delivered with merit to the benefit of national grid and the country. In our view given the scale, importance and complexity of the installation it would be extremely deserving of the award for best project of the year.

Joshua Slack National Specification Manager, Promat – Etex Building Performance Ltd

We’ve worked with Sharpfibre through 2 PCSA agreements on our £300m TQA1 project. Here they have provided technical advice on penetration seals, cavity barriers, gap seals & fire boarding across our project. Over the 18 months they have been onsite they have worked proactively to ensure compliance with manufactures tested details and resourced the job appropriately when asked. They have maintained excellent records of their works and have been a pleasure to work with. Their passion and their expertise have been much appreciated, and I’d recommend them to other principal contractors who are after a competent firestopping sub-contractor

It has been a pleasure working with Sharpfibre throughout the barker project and look forward to the next one

Daniel Jesus Quantity Surveyor, Sir Robert McAlpine

Thank you for the shift report. It is encouraging to observe you and the team collaborating effectively. I appreciate the results we are currently achieving on-site as the lean expert, and I have no additional comments regarding the working process. In his own words, we appear to be well-organized and functioning cohesively.

Kareem Hanson Project Manager Dartford Tunnel

From our initial enquiry through to the completion of the project Sharpfibre went above and beyond to ensure the project was completed on time and budget. This involved working in difficult conditions on a daily basis, and your technical support throughout the project was invaluable to ensure the works undertaken met the specification required on this project. The project commenced in November 2023 and was delivered in very tight deadline.

Chris Cobb Planned Programmes Supervisor, Bristol City Council

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…

David Wright Chief Engineer at National Grid

Behind it’s striking new facade and in what has become a landmark development in Southend, Beaumont Court & Richmond House offers not only a superior style of apartment, but a brighter way of life in the heart of Southend on Sea

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cementitious Fire Protection?

Cementitious fire protection is a spray-applied coating made from lightweight cement-based materials. It is applied directly onto structural steel, concrete, or other building elements. Once hardened, it creates an insulating layer that slows the rise in temperature during a fire.

This type of fireproofing is especially common in:

High-rise buildings
Warehouses
Stadiums and airports
Industrial facilities

What is Fire Stopping?

Fire stopping is a critical element of building fire safety, designed to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through walls, floors, and ceilings. It plays a vital role in protecting lives, limiting property damage, and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations.

How much does intumescent paint expand?

It depends on the formulation, but as a rule of thumb, the coating can swell anywhere from twenty to fifty times its original dry film thickness.

What is Durasteel?

DURASTEEL^® is a composite board manufactured with a fibre reinforced cement core, with outer facings of 0.5mm perforated galvanised steel mechanically bonded to each surface of the core. Other steel finishes such as stainless steel are also available for use where greater resistance to corrosion is required. DURASTEEL® comes in two thicknesses, and the material is classified as class A1, non-combustible.
