Haringey has a significant volume of housing association and council residential stock alongside numerous school buildings that require fire compartmentation assessment. From post-war estates in Tottenham and Wood Green to Victorian conversions in Crouch End and Muswell Hill, the borough's diverse building stock presents a wide range of compartmentation challenges.
Our fire compartmentation surveys in Haringey identify deficiencies in fire stopping, assess compartment wall and floor integrity, and evaluate cavity barrier provision. We work with Haringey Council, housing associations, academy trusts and private freeholders to ensure passive fire protection is adequate in buildings from Highgate and Hornsey to Tottenham Hale and Bruce Grove.
Whether you manage a school building in Tottenham, a housing association tower block in Wood Green, or a purpose-built residential block in Hornsey, our RICS regulated surveys provide the evidence needed for remediation planning and regulatory compliance.
Assessment of fire stopping at service penetrations in Haringey housing association blocks and school buildings, where decades of alteration and extension works have frequently compromised passive fire protection at compartment boundaries.
Inspection of fire-separating walls and floors in post-war residential towers, system-built school buildings and converted properties, checking for correct fire resistance and identifying breaches from service installations.
Survey of all pipe, cable and duct penetrations through compartment lines, including mechanical ventilation systems in school buildings and communal service risers in housing association blocks across the borough.
Review of cavity barrier provision in external wall over-cladding, roof voids and suspended ceiling spaces, with particular attention to Haringey estates with external wall insulation and school buildings with complex roof geometries.

View ServiceYes. Schools in Haringey, particularly those built in the 1950s to 1970s with system-build construction, often have compartmentation deficiencies resulting from decades of alteration, extension and service upgrades. A compartmentation survey identifies where fire-separating elements have been compromised and provides a clear remediation plan to protect pupils, staff and visitors.
Haringey has significant housing association and council housing stock, particularly in Tottenham, Wood Green and Hornsey. Post-war tower blocks, low-rise estates and converted properties all require compartmentation assessment. Housing providers have legal duties under the Building Safety Act to ensure passive fire protection is maintained in their buildings.
Large estates in Haringey require systematic compartmentation surveys covering each block individually while considering the estate as a whole. We can undertake phased survey programmes that provide consistent reporting across multiple blocks, helping asset management teams prioritise remediation and budget for fire safety improvements.
We typically issue compartmentation survey reports within two to three weeks of completing the site inspection. For urgent cases where immediate safety concerns are identified, we can provide interim findings within 48 hours. The full report includes a detailed schedule of deficiencies, photographic evidence and prioritised remediation recommendations.
