Fire compartmentation is the division of a building into fire-resistant compartments using rated walls, floors, doors and barriers. The aim is to contain a fire to the compartment where it starts, protecting escape routes and limiting damage.
A compartmentation survey inspects walls, floors, ceilings and concealed spaces along compartment lines to identify breaches. Results are typically classified as Type 1 (visual, non-intrusive) through Type 4 (fully intrusive with destructive opening up).
Under the Fire Safety Order, the responsible person must ensure fire protection measures — including compartmentation — are suitable and maintained. For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Act adds further duties on the accountable person and principal accountable person.
There's no fixed interval, but compartmentation should be reviewed whenever the building is altered, after fire-related incidents, in response to fire risk assessment recommendations, and as part of ongoing Building Safety Case maintenance.
Compartmentation is the overall division of the building into fire-resistant compartments. Fire stopping is one of the techniques used to maintain compartmentation — specifically, sealing penetrations and joints in compartment walls and floors.
Yes. We're a survey and remedial provider in one — so the team that finds the breaches is the team that fixes them, with no handoffs and no excuses.
Yes. We can mark up compartment lines on existing plans or produce new drawings, providing a single source of truth for ongoing maintenance and audit.
Yes — compartmentation evidence is a core part of the Building Safety Case for higher-risk buildings. The Regulator expects clear documentation of compartment lines, condition and maintenance.
