Compartmentation Surveys

Identify visible weaknesses in fire-resisting construction.

Alterations, service penetrations and damaged construction can undermine compartmentation. We help plan a survey of agreed areas, record accessible defects and identify where further investigation or specialist repairs are needed.

What you receive

• An agreed survey area and access plan
• A record of visible defects and unprotected service penetrations
• Photographs and locations to help plan remedial work
• A prioritised schedule of recommendations
• Clear reporting of inaccessible areas and survey limitations

Who this is for

Premises managers, owners and project teams investigating compartmentation concerns or preparing a planned remedial programme.

How it works

1. Review available drawings, previous reports and known concerns.
2. Agree the survey scope, access and any opening-up arrangements.
3. Record accessible conditions and significant gaps.
4. Use the findings to commission appropriate investigation or remedial works.

Agreeing the scope

The agreed survey may be visual or involve specifically authorised opening-up. It does not certify all concealed construction. Asbestos information, access restrictions and reinstatement responsibilities must be resolved before intrusive work.
