How quickly can you arrange a compartmentation survey in Kensington & Chelsea?

Standard bookings in Kensington & Chelsea are confirmed within one working day. For PPM contract customers, emergency call-outs (fire alarm fault, enforcement notice, post-incident) carry a 4-working-hour response.

What is a Type 4 compartmentation survey?

Type 4 is fully intrusive — opening up service voids, risers and ceilings — to verify concealed fire-stopping. Required when there is reason to suspect significant non-compliance.

Who installs fire-stopping?

Fire-stopping should be installed by competent installers using third-party-certificated systems (Nullifire, Hilti, Promat), strictly to the tested details — third-party installer schemes such as IFC, FIRAS and LPCB exist for this work. We record product certificates and photographic evidence for every penetration.

Compartmentation Surveys & Fire Stopping for Kensington & Chelsea buildings

Compartmentation divides a building into fire-resisting cells so a fire cannot spread. Decades of M&E penetrations, refurbishments and lazy reinstatements compromise it. We survey, document and remediate to give you a defensible record.

If you are looking for fire stopping or passive fire protection contractors, this is that service: penetration seals, cavity barriers and compartment lines surveyed, documented and remediated.
