FireStopping Survey
Ensuring that your building’s fire stopping is compliant and fully effective is a critical part of passive fire protection. Our FireStopping Survey service identifies weaknesses in compartmentation, highlights defects, and provides clear recommendations to bring your building up to standard — helping to protect occupants, property, and regulatory compliance.
Why a Fire Stopping Survey is Important
Over time, fire stopping around service penetrations, joints, and compartment walls can degrade due to building works, renovations, or normal wear and tear. Any gaps, poorly installed materials, or missing seals can allow fire and smoke to spread, compromising escape routes and structural safety.
A thorough survey helps you:
- Identify defects and weak points in firestopping systems
- Maintain compartmentation integrity
- Reduce fire risk and support safe evacuation
- Meet the requirements of UK fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Approved Document B, and BS 9999
Our survey process
Our surveys are carried out by competent, trained operatives who follow a structured process from inspection through to reporting. Using Onetrace, our cloud-based system, we manage every stage of the survey with precision and accountability:
01
How We Conduct the Survey
Our surveys are conducted by competent, trained operatives who follow a structured process from inspection to reporting. We use Onetrace, our cloud-based system, to manage every stage of the survey:
02
Defect Logging & Classification
Defects are classified according to risk, type, and urgency. OneTrace allows us to track every identified issue, ensuring nothing is missed and all data is stored securely.
03
Recommendation of Compliant Solutions
For each defect, we apply tested and approved manufacturer solutions, ensuring that all remediation meets relevant British Standards (BS 476, BS 9999, BS EN 1366 series). OneTrace links each recommendation directly to a compliant installation detail, simplifying specification and verification.
04
Reporting & Traceability
On survey completion, Onetrace generates a full, digital, itemised report, including:
- Defect locations
- Photographic evidence
- Recommended remediation
- Product and manufacturer details
- Risk ratings
This ensures a transparent and fully auditable record, supporting compliance audits and ongoing maintenance programmes.
