What is a Compartmentation Survey?
Our compartmentation surveys are carried out by qualified professionals who understand the realities of managing real-world buildings. A detailed inspection of a building’s fire-resisting walls, floors, ceilings, and service penetrations, its purpose is to assess whether fire compartments are properly constructed and maintained in line with the building’s fire strategy, containing fire and smoke in the event of an incident.
Whether you manage a residential block, care facility, or commercial property, we assess your existing construction to identify:
- Breaches in walls or ceilings, including around services like pipes and cables
- Missing or poorly installed firestopping
- Inadequate construction or workmanship
- Defects within risers, ceiling voids, or plant rooms
- Areas at risk of rapid fire or smoke spread
We use photographic evidence and floor-by-floor reporting to help you understand exactly what’s needed to bring your building up to standard.
