Your Inner West passive fire contractor

We're based at Concord — that makes us your local passive fire protection contractor for the entire Inner West, with faster response times than contractors operating from the CBD or further out.

East Coast Passive services Inner West suburbs including Concord, Strathfield, Burwood, Ashfield, Homebush, Rhodes, Canada Bay, Five Dock, Drummoyne, Leichhardt, Rozelle, Balmain, Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Marrickville, Newtown, Enmore, Annandale, Glebe and the surrounding areas. Our scope covers everything from small commercial fitouts to mid-rise residential developments, aged care facilities, schools, and AFSS rectification works on existing building stock.

The Inner West mix

The Inner West has a distinctive building mix that shapes the passive fire work we do here. Alongside the Victorian and Federation terraces you'll find pockets of industrial conversion in Marrickville and Rozelle, post-war walk-up apartments through Ashfield and Burwood, a growing cluster of mid-rise residential towers in Rhodes and Homebush, healthcare and aged care facilities through Concord and Strathfield, and the major education precincts including schools, TAFE and campus facilities.

Each building type brings different passive fire challenges. Walk-up residential needs fire stopping at every service penetration between units, fire-rated seals at compartment walls, and often significant rectification work where previous renovations have compromised compartmentation. Aged care facilities demand pedantic AFSS compliance — vulnerable occupants mean every fire-rated wall, door and damper matters. Commercial fitouts in industrial conversions need tailored solutions where existing fabric doesn't fit modern tested systems cleanly.

What we do in the Inner West

Typical Inner West projects include fire stopping for new residential developments and walk-up renovations, lightweight construction — fire-rated shaftliner and partition systems for lift shafts in mid-rise projects, structural steel fire protection on commercial and industrial conversions, and extensive AFSS and Essential Fire Safety Measures rectification across the older building stock that makes up much of the Inner West's commercial and residential fabric. We also install access panels and hoppers to fire resisting shafts, fire seals protecting openings in fire resisting components, fire dampers in HVAC systems, and produce complete passive registers suitable for strata committees, building management, certifier handover or Council lodgement.

Because we're local, we can do a no-cost site inspection on Inner West projects without the travel overhead that pushes up quotes from contractors based elsewhere. Call 0431 430 395 to arrange a site visit.

FPAS accredited — matters for Inner West AFSS

Much of the Inner West's building stock is at the age where Annual Fire Safety Statements are flagging passive fire issues that previous contractors left uncovered. Under NSW's EP&A Regulation 2021, passive items endorsed on an AFSS must be assessed by a Fire Safety Assessor who is a Competent Fire Safety Practitioner — and FPAS is the principal accreditation scheme for CFSPs. We hold that accreditation and inspect to AS1851, so we can assess, rectify and endorse passive components on your AFSS in one coordinated engagement.
