Boarded Fire Protection Systems
Fast-fit, Clean-line Fire Protection for Steel, Soffits and Riser Enclosures
Board-based fire protection uses pre-formed, non-combustible boards to encase steelwork, risers, ducting and structural walls. These systems are ideal when a dry, low-mess installation is preferred and where speed is a key factor. Once fixed in place, fire protection boards form a solid shield against heat, helping to maintain the structural integrity of the elements behind them during a fire.
Best-Fit Scenarios
These systems are regularly used in office developments, utility areas, public-sector buildings and structural service zones. You’ll often find them in plant rooms, riser shafts and spaces where future access might be needed or where wet trades aren’t desirable. They’re especially useful for projects where fast turnaround and a tidy finish are required.
What We Offer
SBS installs a wide range of board protection systems, tailored to each building’s needs. Our work begins with an on-site review and product selection based on fire rating, dimensions and finish requirements. Boards are cut precisely, fitted around structural elements using manufacturer-approved fixings and sealed to form a continuous barrier. Our experienced installers are trained to work cleanly and efficiently, with all projects being documented with handover packs, test certificates and compliance records.
Why Boards?
Board systems don’t require any curing time, meaning protection is instant once the panels are in place. They don’t need to be painted, making them ideal for environments where visual uniformity or low maintenance is key. Boards are easy to inspect and upgrade, which makes them a smart option for long-term fire safety planning, especially in multi-occupancy or service-heavy buildings.
To discuss whether a board system is right for your project, drop us a message or request a call back, our team is always happy to advise.
Fire Doors: Certified Protection for Life Safety and Compliance
Fire doors are purpose-built doorsets engineered to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments for a defined period, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. In large commercial and industrial buildings, fire doors are a legal and safety-critical requirement, protecting escape routes, structural integrity and life safety during a fire.
SBS Limited provides a complete fire door service for complex, high-risk environments. We supply, install and inspect certified doorsets for hospitals, data centres, transport hubs, education facilities, commercial towers and multi-residential developments, ensuring full compliance with UK fire safety regulations and project-specific fire strategies.
The fire doors we install are manufactured and tested to BS 476-22 or EN 1634-1 standards, also third-party certified under schemes such as BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire and IFC Certification. These doors are engineered to provide integrity and where required, insulation for the duration of their fire rating.
From glazed FD30 doors in healthcare corridors to solid-core FD60 doors in plant rooms and service risers, each doorset is specified for its environment and rated for performance. We work with a wide range of doorset types, ironmongery and access control systems, tailoring every installation to the needs of the project.
