Compartmentation Surveys

Fire Compartmentation Surveys in London

What Is a Fire Compartmentation Survey?

A compartmentation survey checks whether the building’s internal fire barriers are intact and doing their job. This passive fire protection survey looks specifically for breaches that could let fire or smoke pass between compartments, so gaps are found and fixed before they become a safety or compliance issue.
