We remediate passive fire defects in commercial and multi-residential buildings, restoring fire compartmentation, meeting NZ Building Code Clause C3, and providing the documentation your IQP, council and BWOF require. Compliance-driven or planned works, done properly.
Passive fire protection is what keeps a building compartmentalised, containing fire and smoke long enough for people to evacuate and for fire services to respond. Over a building's life, those systems get breached: new services are installed, penetrations are left unsealed, fire stopping is damaged, or original work was never compliant in the first place.
Halt Fire specialises in remediating those defects. Whether you've been flagged in a BWOF or council inspection, had defects identified by your IQP, or you're planning proactive remedial works, we assess, install tested fire-rated systems, and hand over the documentation to prove compliance across Auckland, Northland and North Waikato.
From individual flagged defects to full building remediation programmes, we cover every passive fire system in commercial and multi-residential buildings.
Fire stopping to pipes, cables, ducts and conduits passing through fire-rated walls and floors, using collars, wraps, sealants and mortar.
Reinstating SS15/3 fire separations and SS15/5 smoke separations above ceilings, below floors and through wall lines.
Sealing openings, head-of-wall gaps, riser voids and cavities to maintain continuous fire compartmentation.
Replacing damaged or missing smoke seals and remediating failed fire doors and self-closers in existing buildings.
Installation and repair of fire and smoke dampers in existing HVAC systems requiring remediation.
Remediating passive fire items flagged in your BWOF, by your IQP, or in a council Notice to Fix, with the records to clear them.
Every installation is tested, tagged and recorded, so the work is verifiable for your IQP, council and auditors.
Remedial work is only as good as the evidence behind it. As a PS3 author, Halt Fire provides the producer statements and compliance records your IQP needs to certify the work and issue your Form 12A.
We inspect fire-rated penetrations and separations, identify defects, and verify against fire reports and NZBC Clause C3.
We specify tested, BRANZ-appraised systems matched to the service type, building structure and required fire rating.
Installed by qualified passive fire technicians to manufacturer requirements and industry best practice.
Full compliance records handed over: before/after photos, data sheets, tagged locations and as-builts.
From compliance-driven remediation to planned works on live and new projects.
Keeping your building compliant and your BWOF on track.
Coordinated remediation across portfolios and body corporates.
Reliable passive fire packages priced accurately and delivered on programme.
Compliant fire stopping after new services are installed.
Shared-building remediation handled clearly and documented properly.

Unsealed penetrations and damaged fire stopping let smoke and fire spread through a building, shortening evacuation time and putting people, property and your compliance at risk.
