  • About Us

The Specialist Contractor Behind Britain's Quietest Fire-Safe Buildings.

We don’t build the buildings you notice. We build the protection inside the buildings nobody notices — until something goes wrong, and then everybody notices the work we did right.

Our Story

Murther Fire Protection Ltd was founded by a small group of specialists with one shared frustration: too many passive fire protection contractors were treating the work as a commodity. Fire doors hung in five minutes by labour-only teams with no certification. Fire stops smeared into penetrations with whatever sealant came off the back of the van. Cavity barriers installed in the wrong orientation, or omitted altogether, because the façade contractor’s programme had moved on.

We started Murther to do this work the way it should always have been done — under third-party accreditation, by directly employed and continuously trained operatives, with full documentation handed back to the client at the end of every project. The work is more rigorous. The cost is competitive. And the outcome is a building whose passive fire protection will perform exactly as the design intended.
