Fire stopping and compartmentation in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Each penetration is numbered, photographed before and after, and logged with the product used, so your building safety case has evidence rather than assurances.

Which rules apply in Gosport?

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 Gosport?

We price fire stopping and compartmentation works in Gosport 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.
