Which rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Building safety work in blocks of flats is planned around the building's fire risk assessment and the responsible person's duties under fire safety law.
What does it cost in Northern Ireland?
We price fire stopping and compartmentation works in Northern Ireland 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?
Where our surveys find something outside our scope, such as a missing fire damper or a compromised fire door, we report it to you through the route agreed in your contract.
