The barrier comprises one or more sheets of cloth material impregnated on one or both sides with a coating of intumescent material, and means for suspending each coated sheet as a continuous fire break alongside the internal surface of each external wall of the building. The barrier prevents the passage of fire for a period in excess of 30 minutes. Each sheet may be 1mm thick and comprise a reinforced glass cloth. Each sheet may have openings corresponding with windows, doors, and other openings of the building. Each opening may include fire proofed cavity barriers around its sides. A second barrier comprising a plurality of intumescent-coated fireproof sponge blocks may be positioned alongside the surface of the fire barrier remote from the external walls of the building. Also claimed is a fire proofed cavity barrier comprising an assembly of individual blocks of a sponge material coated on each surface with a coating of liquid intumescent material to define a wall alongside the internal surface of each external wall of the building. The blocks may comprise a high density non-fibrous or fibre-free sponge and be secured to neighbouring blocks using a jointing compound.
