Fire compartmentation services are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection strategy. At Original Fire, we deliver professional fire compartmentation surveys and remedial solutions that help contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and ensure legal compliance under current fire safety legislation.
We support responsible persons, property managers, and duty holders across commercial, residential, and public sector buildings.
Fire compartmentation is the process of subdividing a building into fire-resistant compartments using walls, floors, ceilings, and fire-stopping systems. These compartments are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, protect critical escape routes, and allow occupants time to evacuate safely.
A fire compartmentation survey assesses how effective these measures are and identifies any breaches that could compromise fire safety.
If a fire risk assessment identifies concerns with compartment walls, floors, ceilings, or service penetrations, a fire compartmentation survey is often required.
Our surveys assess whether existing compartmentation measures can effectively contain fire and smoke in line with current guidance and legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
All surveys are carried out with minimal disruption and supported by clear, practical recommendations.
Where breaches or defects are identified, we can also deliver professional remedial works to restore the integrity of your fire compartments.
Our in-house teams carry out compliant solutions using certified materials and proven installation methods.
This end-to-end approach removes the need to coordinate multiple contractors and ensures accountability from survey through completion.
Effective compartmentation plays a vital role in life safety and building protection by:
Without correctly installed and maintained compartmentation, fire can spread rapidly through voids and penetrations, putting lives and property at serious risk.
