[QUOTE="DaveS79, post: 489631, member: 28820"] Happy Monday people Am wondering how most of you go about achieving adequate smoke and fire sealing with cables entering back of DB and going up into plasterboard. My understanding is that any smoke/fire generated from inside DB needs to be adequately sealed as not to spread into voids. The DB am changing over just has cables entering straight into it with rather big hole in plasterboard behind it and no sealing. Anytime I have worked on new build flats aswell from my memory they have never seemed to do this either. Have bought some fire sealant foam to apply around cables and seal the hole but this does seem like it would be pain in arse in future should cables need to come out or new ones in. Also probably won't be the neatest. Cheers [/QUOTE]
