All aspects of the Passive Fire installations need checking. They include firestopping, fire doors, cavity barriers, glazing, linear gap sealing, hatches, wall types, sprayed fire protection, foams, cladding, insulation, gas sealing, disease spread sealing, moisture and damp protection, air sealing and even aesthetic sealing.
Correctly installed passive fire protection is required to save people, assets and the building. Stopping the spread of fire from room to room is paramount, but in reality different types of buildings have different building regulations. Passive Fire Limited have contributed at all levels, in the inspection and sign off, of over 400 buildings. Hospitals, Schools, Housing and Power stations all have different regulations but the principles of Fire compartmentation are the same, stopping fire spreading.
Our aims are to help installers of Passive Fire Protection Systems get it right first time. Most construction operatives don’t see firestopping, as the installation happens after the pipes, cables and other services are installed in the building. In principle firestopping and fire door installations shouldn’t be installed incorrectly, but due to a lack of knowledge being offered to firestopping operatives our inspectors are constantly finding a wide variety of non-compliant installations. Onsite, our inspections will offer advice and guidance for all parties and therefore obtaining a compliant building.

Our Consultation services usually look into dispute type scenarios. Some clients have used us to gather evidence for court cases, some just want sample surveys, some asking for full investigations due to exasperating penalty clauses, Type 4 risk assessments and sometimes just a photo for comment on what’s wrong? Change in a project can often cause it to cost more and run over which is why Passive Fire Ltd appreciate that our swift responce can be crucial to avoid those extra costs and time.

Yes, fire door inspections are mandatory in the UK. They are an important part of fire safety regulations and are essential for ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of fire doors in buildings. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that fire safety measures, including regular fire door inspections, are implemented and maintained in commercial and residential buildings in the UK. Fire door inspections help to identify any potential issues or deficiencies with fire doors and ensure that they meet the necessary standards for fire resistance and functionality
