Fire stopping and compartmentation in Babergh

Who owns the social homes in Babergh?

Babergh District Council still owns council homes in Babergh and manages them directly, funded through its Housing Revenue Account. Housing associations also own and manage social homes in the area, and we can work for both.

What do we cover in Babergh?

• Compartmentation surveys of risers, ceiling voids and roof spaces
• Sealing service penetrations with tested systems
• Cavity barriers and fire-rated batt systems
• Fire-rated boarding and ceiling repairs
• Penetration logs with photographs and product references

How do we deliver it?

We match the system to the penetration: plastic pipes, metal pipes and cable bundles each need a different tested solution.
