Accreditation disclosure
Meath is not a BM TRADA third-party certified fire-stopping installer and does not represent its work as BM TRADA certified or independently self-certified. Where a contract requires a particular third-party certification scheme, this must be identified before appointment and may require an appropriately certified specialist.
TRAINING & TRANSPARENCY
Product training supported by installation records.
Personnel have undertaken passive fire-stopping theory and practical training through the Performance Adhesives Ltd Centre of Excellence, including training relating to Nullifire systems.
Fire stopping must follow the tested application
A fire-stopping product cannot be selected from appearance alone. The supporting construction, service type, opening size, insulation, annular gap, required rating, orientation and fixing arrangement must fall within the relevant tested or assessed system.
Meath works from the project fire strategy, approved specification, manufacturer detail or other competent design information supplied for the installation.
Typical Works
Passive fire-stopping installation and remediation
Availability depends on the supplied design, tested-system evidence, existing construction, access and inspection requirements.
Coated Fire Batt Systems
Installation or remediation of compatible coated-batt systems where the complete detail is covered by the specified evidence.
Fire-Rated Sealants
Application of specified intumescent or fire-resistant sealants to suitable penetrations and linear joints within tested limits.
Collars & Wraps
Installation of the specified pipe closing device using the required orientation, fixings, substrate and supporting seal.
Fire Mortar
Specified mortar systems for suitable wall or floor penetrations, subject to opening size, construction and service requirements.
Remedial Fire Stopping
Removal and replacement of identified defects where a compliant tested detail has been selected for the actual condition.
Installation records
Documentation is agreed for the project and can be structured around individual fire-stopping locations.
Unique location or penetration reference
Building, level, room or grid location
Before and after photographs
Service and substrate description
Product and system reference
Required fire rating supplied
Installation date and operative record
Recorded limitations or observations
DESIGN RESPONSIBILITY
Correct detail before installation.
Meath does not replace the project fire engineer, fire-stopping designer, responsible person, building control function or independent inspector. Design responsibility, required performance and acceptance criteria must be clear before work proceeds.
Delivery Process

When third-party certification is required
Some clients, insurers, specifications or procurement routes require installation by a contractor certified under a named third-party scheme. Meath will not describe PAL or product training as equivalent to BM TRADA certification.
If the specified certification is mandatory, the delivery route must be agreed before work is offered or instructed.
