Fire Compartment Surveys
Compliance & Accreditations
A clear picture of current performance.
The integrity of compartmentation cannot be assumed. Its condition must be properly assessed to understand how a building will perform in the event of a fire.
We undertake intrusive and non-intrusive fire compartment surveys to evaluate fire-resisting walls, floors, and concealed voids, providing a clear and accurate picture of compartment performance across a building.
Surveys are carried out in a structured and methodical manner to identify breaches, defects, and areas of non-compliance that may compromise fire resistance.
Our reporting presents findings in a clear and practical format, enabling building owners, contractors and duty holders to understand risk, prioritise remedial works and maintain ongoing compliance.
We support a range of project requirements including fire risk assessment actions, compliance audits, refurbishment works and Building Safety Act remediation programmes.
All survey findings are supported by photographic evidence and documented records, providing a reliable basis for decision making and long term compliance management.

FAQs
A fire compartment survey is an assessment of fire resisting walls, floors and building elements to determine whether compartmentation is intact and capable of preventing the spread of fire and smoke.
They help ensure that a building’s passive fire protection performs as intended, reducing risk to occupants, limiting damage and supporting compliance with fire safety legislation.
Surveys are recommended following refurbishment works, changes in building use, failed fire risk assessments or where there is limited information on existing fire protection.
Surveys typically include inspection of walls, floors, ceiling voids and service penetrations, identification of breaches, photographic evidence and a report with recommended actions.
The responsible person or duty holder has a legal obligation to ensure that fire compartmentation is maintained and effective. Surveys help demonstrate that this duty is being met.
Yes. Surveys can be carried out in occupied environments and are planned carefully to minimise disruption while maintaining safety and compliance.
Yes. Reports include clear and prioritised recommendations to address non compliant areas and support remediation planning.
