You can get special pots to cover them - in case of overheating they extinguish fire.

What you get with expensive intumescent ones is that you make the holes as fire resistant as a plastered ceiling, to comply with regs. I'm not sure if the same rules apply between habitable rooms and between the top floor and the loft.

You need the hole to get the wires out. Stuff it with fireclay later.
