We inspect the agreed areas of your building, reviewing accessible firestopping and compartmentation against the available drawings, specifications and relevant system information. From individual flats to multi-storey blocks, the scope is tailored to the building and the questions you need answered.
01
Firestopping & compartmentation
Accessible service penetrations, linear joints, fire-rated partitions and compartment boundaries within the agreed scope.
02
Flats, risers & shared areas
Location-based inspections, with flats, floors, risers and corridors clearly identified so findings can be traced.
03
Satisfactory work & defects
Photographs of the inspected areas record satisfactory observations as well as defects. Access restrictions and uncertainty are recorded too.
HOW IT WORKS
From the first conversation to a clear record.
Scope, access and deliverables agreed before work begins.
01
Agree the scope
We review your brief, available plans, previous reports and access arrangements before agreeing the inspection areas and deliverables.
02
Inspect & record
We check accessible areas, take photographs and record location references. Video can be included where useful and agreed. Concealed areas may require separately agreed opening-up.
03
Report the findings
You receive a report setting out observations, supporting photographs, limitations and identified issues. Defects are recorded in a non-conformance (NCR) register for tracking.
04
Reinspect where needed
Once remedial work is ready, follow-up inspections and updated reporting are separately scoped and priced. Outstanding items remain open until suitably resolved and verified.
THE RECORD MATTERS
Evidence of the condition we observed.
Dated photographs, matched to location references and available drawings, create a useful record of the walls and seals inspected. That record can help distinguish the original observed condition from later damage or alterations.
Where a certificate is included in the agreed service, it records the inspection outcome for the specified areas and date. A satisfactory outcome depends on relevant issues being resolved and sufficient evidence being available. It does not cover concealed or uninspected work, or provide a guarantee of the whole building.

What should I have ready?+
A site address, the type of building and a short description of your concerns. Plans, previous reports and access information can be discussed when the scope is agreed.
Does a request confirm a booking?+
No. Submitting an enquiry lets us review your requirements. Survey scope, access, fees and availability need to be agreed before a visit is booked.
Can I enquire about installation work?+
Yes. Choose “Firestopping works” for new installations or “Remedial works” for repairs to existing firestopping. They are separate enquiry options so we can understand the scope from the start.
