Professional Fire Stopping Surveys in Ipswich & Suffolk
We specialise in passive fire protection services, providing comprehensive fire stopping surveys, fire compartmentation audits, and certified installations and repairs to maintain fire-resistant barriers for your building. Our fire stopping inspections and fire barrier surveys adhere to strict British Standards and building regulations.
What Does a Fire Stopping Survey Cover?
Our surveys examine all fire compartment walls and floors, service penetrations (pipes, cables, ducts), fire dampers, cavity barriers, linear gap seals, and fire-resistant construction elements. Each survey identifies breaches, defects, and missing fire stopping, with photographic documentation and prioritised recommendations.
Why Is Fire Compartmentation Important?
Fire compartmentation is designed to contain fire within defined areas, preventing spread and protecting escape routes. Breaches in fire stopping — often caused by building alterations, maintenance work, or poor initial installation — can allow fire and smoke to spread rapidly through a building.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fire stopping be surveyed?
Fire stopping surveys should be conducted regularly, particularly after any building alterations that may have compromised compartmentation. We recommend surveys at least every 3-5 years, or as identified by your fire risk assessment.
What qualifications do your surveyors hold?
Our fire stopping surveyors are qualified passive fire protection specialists with recognised industry certifications and extensive experience in fire compartmentation assessment.
