Looking for a Passive Fire Survey?

Passive Fire Surveys

Understanding the condition of your building’s passive fire protection measures is vital to maintaining fire safety compliance. At ION FM, we provide professional passive fire surveys, offering detailed assessments of your property’s fire-resistant structures to ensure they effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke. Our surveys help identify potential weaknesses in your fire safety strategy, ensuring your building remains safe and compliant with UK fire regulations.

What is Passive Fire Protection?

Passive fire protection (PFP) refers to the fire-resistant materials and features integrated into a building’s structure to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. This includes fire doors, fire-rated walls, floors, ceilings, fire-stopping, and compartmentation. Unlike active systems, such as sprinklers or alarms, passive fire protection works by containing fire within designated areas, reducing the risk of widespread damage and giving occupants more time to evacuate.

At ION FM, our passive fire surveys involve a thorough inspection of your building’s fire-resistant features. We assess the condition and effectiveness of all passive fire protection elements, identifying any areas where improvements are needed to ensure compliance with Approved Document B of the Building Regulations and BS 9999 fire safety standards.

Our Passive Fire Survey Services Include:

Fire Door Inspections: Assessing the condition and functionality of fire doors, including seals, hinges, and closing mechanisms, to ensure they meet fire safety requirements.
Compartmentation Checks: Evaluating the integrity of fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings to ensure they effectively contain fire and smoke within designated compartments.
Fire-Stopping Inspections: Identifying gaps or penetrations in walls and floors that require fire-stopping measures, ensuring that pipes, cables, and ducts are sealed with fire-resistant materials.
Fireproofing of Structural Elements: Inspecting the fireproofing of load-bearing elements, such as steel beams and columns, to ensure they maintain structural integrity during a fire.
Detailed Survey Reports: Providing a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your passive fire protection systems, including any recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or replacements to ensure full compliance with UK fire regulations.
