The Problem We Solved

Historically, passive fire protection has been one of the worst-documented disciplines in UK construction. Penetrations sealed on Tuesday were forgotten by Friday. Doorsets installed in 2014 carried no record of who installed them. Cavity barriers were photographed on someone’s personal phone and never made it to the O&M.; The result, as inquiry after inquiry has shown, was buildings whose fire strategy could not be evidenced — only assumed.

That is no longer good enough, and as of the Building Safety Act 2022, it is no longer lawful for higher-risk buildings. The Act requires the duty-holder to assemble and maintain a golden thread of information: a digital record of how the building was designed and constructed, accessible to those who need it, accurate and current throughout the building’s life.

One Trace Digital Reporting

Murther Fire Protection uses the OneTrace system to deliver real-time digital reporting, compliance tracking, and project documentation. This ensures full traceability, improved quality control, and secure access to all fire protection records throughout the project lifecycle.

Captures the work

Every penetration, doorset, cavity barrier and coated section is photographed before, during and after installation.

Locates the work

Every record is pinned to the building's floor plan or GA drawing, GPS-tagged and uniquely numbered.

Certifies the work

Each record is signed by the named installer with their accreditation card, the system reference, the date, the time and any deviations from the standard detail.

Reports the work

Live dashboards show the client and the principal contractor exactly which items are complete, in progress, signed off or flagged — at any time, from any device.

What This Means for Our Clients

It means the operations and maintenance pack we hand over at the end of every project is not a 600-page PDF assembled from email attachments. It is a structured, searchable database — every doorset findable by location, every fire stop searchable by drawing reference, every coated beam linked to its DFT readings and topcoat batch number. Your fire risk assessor, your insurer, your Building Safety Regulator and your future contractor can all interrogate the data without contacting us first.

It also means our quality is auditable in real time. Where a client’s representative wants to inspect 25% completion before authorising stage payment, they can do so from a laptop in their own office — by reviewing the photographs and records that already exist, in the platform, the moment our operatives complete each item

Intumescent Paint Thickness Verification

Murther Fire Protection uses calibrated Elcometer 456 Dry Film Thickness (DFT) gauges to verify that intumescent coatings have been applied to the correct specification. This provides accurate quality assurance, supports compliance requirements, and helps ensure the required level of fire protection is achieved.
  • Accurate Dry Film Thickness (DFT) measurement
  • Verification of specified fire protection performance
  • Supports compliance with manufacturer requirements
  • Quality assurance and inspection reporting
  • Full traceability of coating applications
  • Increased confidence for clients and contractors
