Practical support for your building or construction project

Whether you are planning new work or addressing issues identified in an existing building, you need a contractor who understands the installation requirement and works constructively with your team.

Based in Raunds, DC Fire Protection works across Northamptonshire and takes on projects nationwide. We provide passive fire protection services with a focus on the work on site and the information clients need afterwards.

WHAT A MAIN CONTRACTOR SAYS

Practical knowledge. A team that works well on site.

Dan had a great understanding of all fire stopping works in relation to meeting building regulations, he went above & beyond in offering solutions for more complex problems. The guys on site were really easy for our site manager to work with, I’d have no issue recommending DC Fire Protection to other main contractors.

Facilities and property management

When a report identifies passive fire protection issues, we can help turn the findings into a clear work package for your building or portfolio.
