How much fire-stopping product do you hold in stock?

As we all know, having fire-stopping systems is crucial to any project and as such, you need to know that you can access the right product it at any given point.  

With that in mind, one of the questions we are often asked is how much stock do we hold at once, when it comes to fire-stopping products? 

The short answer to that is three months, but in this article, we will explain why that is the case and why it differs from our carpentry range.  


The long and short though is that you’ll have stock available? 


Correct. As we have three months’ worth of stock at our Barking warehouse, we’ll always be on hand to help you out for a project.  

In addition, if you are in our geographic reach, you will have your goods delivered to you by our fleet of vans, which go to great lengths to make sure you get your products on time.  

With a 99.3% success rate, we have proven time and again that our vans are very reliable and 75% of the time, your delivery will be with you before 12pm midday.  

We know how important it is that your project doesn’t run into delays, so one of our company values is to ensure speediness to your order. 

Three months is great, but why is it six for carpentry?  


This is a good question, but we do have a good answer for you. In short, with carpentry, we work with a variety of different suppliers, so we have to keep well on top of that to account for any possible shortages.  

By contrast, we have a much smaller supply base with firestopping, as we work exclusively with Protecta. Therefore, it’s much easier to keep control of, so three months is all we need.  

However, three months is still plenty and it means that we always have a very healthy pool of supplies available at any given point, so we’ll always be able to assist.  

How come it’s only Protecta you work with? 


We have a brilliant relationship with Protecta and have been supplying their innovative fire-stopping solutions for several years now.  

We believe that their products are some of the very best and most effective on the market, which is why we exclusively work with them.
