Which rules apply in the North East?
Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, in residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres high, communal fire doors must be checked every three months and flat entrance doors every year on a best-endeavours basis. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that flat entrance doors fall under the Fire Safety Order.
What does it cost in the North East?
We price fire stopping and compartmentation works in the North East 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.
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.

Do you label penetrations?
Where your specification asks, yes, with a reference that matches the penetration log.
Can you work in higher-risk buildings?
In England, building work in higher-risk buildings needs Building Safety Regulator approval in many cases. We will tell you if the works need that route and work within it.
