Compartmentation Surveys in Buckinghamshire
Compartmentation Surveys in Buckinghamshire
The objective of fire compartmentation is to prevent the spread of smoke, gases, and flames by subdividing the building with fire-resistant construction. Our detailed surveys assess the integrity of your building’s fire compartments, examining walls, floors, ceilings, and fire-resistant barriers. We conduct thorough inspections of service penetrations, cable routes, and pipe work that pass through fire-resistant structures, identifying critical weaknesses before they compromise your building’s fire safety.

Fire Door Surveys in Buckinghamshire
Our inspections ensure compliance with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 requirements by examining fire door construction, hardware, seals, and self-closing devices to ensure they meet required fire resistance standards. Surveys identify doors requiring repair, adjustment, or replacement. We provide practical recommendations that prioritise safety while ensuring cost-effective compliance solutions for your building.
Why are Compartmentation Surveys Essential?
Compartmentation separates critical building elements to prevent the spread of fire throughout an entire property. It also protects escape routes from exposure to a spreading fire. Professional compartmentation surveys are typically recommended when a Fire Risk Assessment identifies potential breaches or deficiencies in your building’s fire-resistant barriers. If your fire risk assessor has advised that your building requires a comprehensive compartmentation survey, immediate action is essential to address compliance gaps.
Why are Fire Door Surveys Essential?
Fire doors are a critical element of passive fire protection; they prevent the spread of smoke and fire within a building. For multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres in height, responsible persons must carry out annual checks of flat entrance doors and quarterly checks of all fire doors in the common parts. Failure to properly inspect or maintain fire doors can lead to severe enforcement action and exposure to fire safety risk.

FAQs
No, not necessarily. Whether or not your building requires a compartmentation survey will be identified during a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). If your fire risk assessor notices any issues with compartmentation, they will recommend a compartmentation survey to identify potential issues.
How often you require a fire door survey depends on the height of your building. For example, for buildings over 11 metres tall, front doors must be checked annually, and communal doors must be checked every three months. For more details about fire door survey frequency and requirements, check out our fire door survey blog.
Yes, the government provided an update to fire door guidance in August 2025. The updated guidance states that fire doors may not necessarily need to be replaced just because they were installed before the updated building regulations. If the fire door was manufactured in accordance with earlier standards, it may be suitable as long as fire door checks determine it’s capable of preventing the spread of fire.
