Negotiation with local authorities

Compartmentation surveys

Modern buildings are designed with ‘Passive Fire Resistance’ or ‘Compartmentation’. This consists of fire walls and fire doors intended to prevent the spread of fire from one part of the building to another and to protect exit routes. Older buildings should have been upgraded to achieve similar standards. Over time, normal wear and tear and the installation of services can erode the integrity of these critical fire safety features. Our inspections, to BS8214 and BS476, involve 16 point checks of all fire doors and walls, including the provision of intumescent materials, and result in a detailed, prioritised report.
