Lewisham has a significant number of school buildings and residential blocks requiring fire compartmentation assessment. The education estate includes many post-war buildings, while residential stock ranges from Victorian conversions in Brockley to towers in Deptford.
Our fire compartmentation surveys in Lewisham identify deficiencies in fire stopping, assess compartment wall and floor construction, and evaluate cavity barrier provision across the borough.
Whether you manage a school building in Catford, a residential tower in Deptford, or a purpose-built block in Lewisham town centre, our RICS regulated surveys provide the evidence needed for compliance.

Post-war towers in Deptford and Catford, housing association estates, purpose-built blocks in Lewisham town centre, and converted properties in Brockley all benefit from compartmentation surveys.
Yes. We can schedule school compartmentation surveys during holidays to minimise disruption, or work during term time with careful coordination with facilities teams.
We can typically attend within one to two weeks of instruction. For urgent cases, we can prioritise attendance. Reports are issued within two to three weeks of the site inspection.
