Greenwich has a growing number of tall residential buildings along the Thames at Greenwich Peninsula, alongside established council estates in Woolwich and Victorian housing stock in Blackheath.
Our fire compartmentation surveys in Greenwich identify deficiencies in fire stopping, assess compartment wall and floor construction, and evaluate cavity barrier provision across the borough.
Whether you manage a new-build tower on Greenwich Peninsula, a post-war estate in Woolwich, or a converted property in Blackheath, our RICS regulated surveys provide clear remediation recommendations.
Assessment of fire stopping in Greenwich residential towers and new-build developments, where rapid construction has sometimes resulted in incomplete fire stopping at compartment boundaries.
Inspection of compartment walls and floors in high-rise developments at Greenwich Peninsula, post-war council blocks in Woolwich and converted properties in Blackheath.
Survey of all service penetrations through compartment lines, including mechanical ventilation risers in tall buildings and service ducts in estate buildings across Greenwich.
Review of cavity barrier provision in external wall cladding systems on new-build towers and over-cladding on existing estate buildings across the borough.

View ServiceYes. Greenwich Peninsula contains tall residential buildings classified as higher-risk under the Building Safety Act. These require compartmentation assessment as part of the building safety case.
Post-war council blocks in Woolwich commonly have deteriorated fire stopping, breached compartment walls from refurbishment programmes, and missing cavity barriers in over-cladding systems.
Yes. We undertake phased compartmentation survey programmes covering multiple blocks for housing associations and local authorities, providing consistent assessment and reporting.
The Building Safety Act requires a building safety case for higher-risk buildings. Compartmentation surveys provide essential evidence documenting the condition of fire-separating elements.
