Fire stopping and compartmentation in Enfield

Who owns the social homes in Enfield?

The London Borough of Enfield still owns council homes in Enfield and manages them directly, funded through its Housing Revenue Account. The latest published figure we found is about 10,692 council homes (2020). Housing associations also own and manage social homes in the area, and we can work for both.

What do we cover in Enfield?

• 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.

Which rules apply in Enfield?

Under the Building Safety Act 2022, building work in higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with at least two homes) needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt; most repairs and like-for-like replacements are exempt, but heating systems, fuse boxes and glazing units are not. Approval can take up to eight weeks for existing buildings, so we build it into the programme.

What do fire stopping and compartmentation works cost in Enfield?

We price fire stopping and compartmentation works in Enfield after a survey rather than from a guide range, because the number and type of penetrations, access to risers and voids, and building height vary from block to block. Send us the details and we will arrange a visit.
