FIRE STOPPING & door SURVEYS to help ENSURE your PROPERTY IS SAFE
At Verus Group, we specialise in fire stopping surveys across the UK, helping to identify and assess compartmentation defects that could jeopardise the safety of your building. Whether you are in London, the surrounding areas, or anywhere in the UK, we ensure that your building’s fire safety measures are up to date and fully compliant.
What is a fire Stopping survey?
A fire stopping survey is an essential safety procedure aimed at identifying breaches in fire compartmentation within a building. Compartment walls, floors, and doors are integral to preventing the spread of fire throughout the building. If these barriers are compromised - whether due to construction oversights, wear and tear, or modifications to the building’s infrastructure - the risk of a fire spreading increases significantly.
Our team of fire safety inspection experts will carefully examine your property to identify any gaps or penetrations through fire-resisting barriers, including any poorly executed or ineffective passive fire protection work. This might include issues such as the improper use of materials like expanding foam around cables or pipes, which can undermine the fire-resisting properties of compartment walls.
Upon completion of the survey, we provide a comprehensive report that includes:
- Detailed identification of any penetrations or breaches in the fire compartment lines.
- Assessment of incorrectly applied passive fire protection works.
- Photographic evidence to clearly show any areas of concern.
- Suggested remedial works to restore fire protection integrity.
What is a fire door survey?
Fire doors are a critical component of your building's fire safety system, helping to limit the spread of smoke and flames from one compartment to another. To ensure that your fire doors continue to function as intended, regular inspections are essential. It’s recommended that fire doors be inspected every six months to maintain compliance with fire safety standards. Failure to do so may affect your insurance policy and, more importantly, the safety of your building's occupants.
Our fire door surveys are conducted by third-party accredited engineers who check every aspect of your fire doors - from the frame and hinges to the seals and closing mechanisms. We provide a detailed report of our findings, advising on necessary repairs or replacements to ensure the doors continue to meet fire resistance standards. These surveys are like an MOT for your fire doors, ensuring your building is protected in the event of a fire.
