Fire Compartmentation Surveys

Fire compartmentation is one of the most important elements of a building's passive fire protection. It is designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely while reducing damage to the building.

Our Fire Compartmentation Surveys assess the condition and effectiveness of fire-resisting walls, floors, ceilings, service risers, and fire-stopping measures throughout a building. We identify defects, unsealed service penetrations, and areas where the integrity of fire compartments has been compromised.

Following the survey, you'll receive a clear report outlining our findings, together with practical recommendations to help restore compliance and improve fire safety.

Our Surveys Cover:

• Fire-resisting walls, floors, and ceilings
• Service penetrations and fire stopping
• Void spaces and compartment lines
• Fire doors and surrounding construction (where applicable)
• Identification of defects affecting compartment integrity

Why It Matters

• Helps limit the spread of fire and smoke
• Supports compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and relevant guidance
• Assists Responsible Persons in managing fire safety risks
• Provides documented evidence of the building's passive fire protection
• Helps prioritise remedial works where required

We take a practical, proportionate approach, providing straightforward advice to help building owners and managing agents understand the condition of their passive fire protection and maintain safe, compliant buildings.
