Which rules apply in the South West?
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 South West?
We price fire stopping and compartmentation works in the South West 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?
Each penetration is numbered, photographed before and after, and logged with the product used, so your building safety case has evidence rather than assurances.

Can you work in higher-risk buildings?

Do you label penetrations?
Where your specification asks, yes, with a reference that matches the penetration log.
