FIRE COMPARTMENTATION SURVEYS
A Fire Compartmentation Survey is a detailed and essential evaluation of a building's internal structures such as walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and service penetrations to assess their ability to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. This thorough examination is designed to identify any weaknesses, deficiencies, or breaches in the fire-resistant barriers, and to provide actionable recommendations for corrective measures. Ensuring that these barriers are intact is critical for maintaining the safety and compliance of any building.
What is Fire Compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation is a fundamental component of a building's fire safety strategy, required under UK legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Building Regulations 2010 (Approved Document B). This system involves dividing a building into separate, fire-resistant compartments or zones, which are designed to slow down the spread of fire and smoke. By containing a fire within a specific area, compartmentation provides occupants with vital time to evacuate safely and enables firefighters to better control and extinguish the blaze, thereby minimising damage and saving lives.
The Importance of Regular Surveys
To ensure the effectiveness of fire compartmentation, regular surveys are not just recommended they are essential. Over time, building alterations, wear and tear, and unaddressed maintenance issues can compromise the integrity of fire-resistant barriers. A Fire Compartmentation Survey identifies these vulnerabilities and provides a detailed report, outlining the necessary remedial actions to restore full compliance with fire safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
For more information, find the answer to your queries here in our most frequently asked questions for fire door surveys and fire compartmentation surveys in London and nationwide.
1. How often should a fire door survey be conducted?
In the UK, fire doors should be visually inspected at least every six months, with more frequent checks (e.g., every three months) in high-traffic areas, as part of fire safety maintenance. Additionally, a more detailed professional survey should be conducted annually to ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and maintain fire door effectiveness.
2. How much does a fire door survey cost?
If our clients have already been instructed by a recent FRA carried out that their doors need replacing, we will come to your property or premises and measure the doors, screens, or glass that you need to replace free of charge. This is an inclusive part of the service when ordering doors from Pyrolondon. Our qualified fitters will then be able to provide you with a clear quote detailing everything you need to ensure compliance with the FRA.
3. How do you survey a fire door?
A fire door surveyor will comprehensively inspect each part of the fire door, from door hinges to all door hardware, by analysing the condition and operation of each component. The fire door signage and labels will be assessed, ensuring that the door meets the fire rating requirements it advertises.
4. What buildings require fire doors?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that fire doors are a legal requirement in all non-domestic properties. This means that all businesses, public buildings, commercial premises, and apartment buildings with at least 2 floors. should have sufficient fire doors throughout the property and residential flats and housing for multiple occupants.
