This year marks 30 years since Firesafe Installations first opened its doors in 1993. Just two years later, in August1995, we became a Limited Company — strengthening our foundations for long-term growth. Over the past three decades, we’ve proudly delivered trusted passive fire protection solutions that safeguard lives, property, and businesses across the UK.
From small-scale projects to major installations, our dedicated team has built a reputation for reliability, expertise, and putting safety first. As we celebrate this milestone, we want to reflect on our journey, highlight how fire protection has evolved, and share our vision for the years ahead.
Our Story – From 1993 to Today
Firesafe Installations began in 1993 with a clear mission: to provide high-quality passive fire protection that meets the UK’s strictest safety standards.
By August 1995, we became a Limited Company, formalising our structure while continuing to build on the same values of quality, integrity, and safety. Since then, we have grown into one of the UK’s leading contractors, trusted by construction firms, housing associations, facilities managers, and public sector organisations.
Key moments in our journey:
- 1993 – Firesafe Installations is founded, setting out to protect lives and buildings.
- 1995 – Firesafe becomes a Limited Company, reinforcing its growth and commitment to clients.
- 2000s – Expansion into structural steel fire protection, fire stopping, cavity barriers, and compartment surveys.
- 2010s – Recognition through awards and accreditations, cementing our status as an industry leader.
- 2020s – Responding to new legislation such as the Building Safety Act, while expanding our service offering nationwide.
How Passive Fire Protection Has Evolved
Since 1993, the UK fire safety landscape has transformed. Tragic events, new legislation, and heightened compliance requirements have placed greater responsibility on building owners and contractors to ensure safety.
Passive fire protection — once overlooked — is now recognised as essential to saving lives and protecting property.
Key developments include:
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – placing legal duties on employers and building operators.
- Hackitt Review & Building Safety Act – post-Grenfell, reinforcing accountability and competence in fire safety.
- Accreditation and training – only certified, competent contractors are trusted to deliver compliant work.
The government’s own fire safety guidance emphasises the importance of measures like those Firesafe has specialised in for 30 years.
