Delivering Certified Fire Protection with Confidence
Born from the extensive construction expertise of our sister company, Drywall Contracts Ltd, DCL Firestopping was established to provide specialist passive fire protection services to the highest industry standards. Our journey has been built on a commitment to quality, technical expertise, and uncompromising compliance, culminating in the achievement of FIRAS accreditation – one of the most recognised third-party certification schemes in the UK fire protection industry.
We firmly believe that for complete peace of mind, clients should always select a third-party accredited firestopping contractor, ensuring installations are independently assessed, audited, and delivered in accordance with tested and certified systems.
