Fire compartmentation is the subdivision of buildings into manageable areas of risk. This will help to prevent the spread of fire and smoke and provide adequate means of escape. A fire risk assessment will typically not include an extensive assessment of fire compartmentation in out-of-reach areas, such as above suspended ceilings, which is why a detailed compartmentation survey should be completed.

Ensuring appropriate fire separation throughout a building is one of the most effective, but often least considered, means of protecting premises and their occupants. Our team of experienced assessors can undertake non-invasive and where required, invasive, surveys to check not only that compartmentation exists but that it is suitable for the circumstances.
To meet the legal requirements of the RRO, building owners and occupiers must ensure that the fire compartmentation in their buildings is robust and being adequately managed and maintained.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, organisations must ensure that the fire protection components within a building: “are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.”
Our fire management experts provide complete fire compartment surveys.
