Fire-resistant ductwork: Essential Protection for Life Safety and Building Integrity
Fire safety in buildings requires comprehensive strategies for containing and managing smoke and flames. Brudavent specialises in the design, fabrication and installation of certified fire rated ductwork systems that play a critical role in maintaining fire compartmentation and facilitating smoke extraction during emergency situations.
Our fire rated ductwork solutions comply with all relevant UK standards, including BS 476 and BS EN 12101, providing documented performance for specific fire resistance periods (30/60/120/240 minutes) as required by your building’s fire strategy.
Brudavent offers several fire-resistant ductwork systems to suit different applications and performance requirements:
- Solid steel fire rated ductwork constructed to BS 476 Part 24
- Proprietary fire resistant board systems for rectangular ducts
- Factory-fabricated circular fire rated ductwork
- Intumescent damper integration for compartmentation
- Fire resisting supports and penetration seals
- Smoke extract systems compliant with EN 12101-7

All our fire-resisting ductwork installations are completed by trained technicians with specific expertise in fire safety systems. We provide comprehensive documentation for building control approval and insurance purposes, including certificates of conformity and detailed installation records.
Brudavent works closely with fire engineers and building control officers to ensure our systems integrate seamlessly with your overall fire strategy. We understand the critical importance of these systems and apply rigorous quality control procedures throughout the design, fabrication and installation process.
For existing buildings requiring fire safety upgrades, we offer retrofit solutions that enhance protection whilst minimising disruption to building operations. Our experienced project managers coordinate closely with other trades to ensure fire safety measures are implemented correctly and efficiently.
