Who We Are

A specialist, not a generalist.

Alpha Fire exists to deliver one thing well: passive fire protection. We're not a general contractor with a PFP sideline. Every operative on site is trained and accredited in the discipline they're installing.

That focus is why main contractors come back, from hyperscale data centre campuses to single-day heritage interventions. Scale varies. Rigour doesn't.

We operate nationwide from our base in the East Midlands.

How We Work

Four principles, applied to every project.

01 / 04

Specialism over breadth

Passive fire protection and adjacent steel protection works. Nothing else. That depth of knowledge is what lets us solve the hard problems.

02 / 04

Evidence over assurances

Every application recorded, every measurement logged, every system photographed. The Golden Thread is how we've always worked.

03 / 04

Relationships over transactions

Most of our work comes from clients we've already delivered for. Repeat trade is the clearest measure of whether the approach is working.

04 / 04

Honest advice

If we're not the right team, we'll say so. If a specification can be simplified without compromising performance, we'll suggest it.

Engineer reviewing compliance documentation on site
The Golden Thread

Documentation as a deliverable.

Since the Building Safety Act, the paper trail proving what was installed, where, and to what standard is no longer optional. We've been working this way for years.

On a recent Grade II listed project, we captured DFT readings on every intumescent application above a live canal and supplied the record as a completion document. The evidence is the evidence.

  • Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 Full compliance built into every specification, survey and installation.
  • Building Safety Act 2022 Golden Thread documentation supplied as a completion deliverable.
  • Third-party certified systems only Tested and certified by recognised third-party bodies. No substitutions.

Work with us

Bring us in early.

The earlier we're involved in a project, the more value we can add. A specification review, a site survey, or a conversation about your programme: whichever helps most.
