Maida Vale's mansion blocks require regular fire compartmentation assessment to ensure resident safety. Our surveys identify fire-stopping breaches, defective fire doors and compromised compartment walls within these traditional multi-occupancy buildings.
We inspect mansion blocks and period buildings throughout W9, providing detailed reports with prioritised remediation recommendations that comply with Building Safety Act requirements.
Compartmentation surveys of red-brick mansion blocks, checking fire-stopping at service penetrations, risers and compartment boundaries.
Assessment of communal and flat entrance fire doors for compliance, including gaps, seals, ironmongery and self-closing devices.
Inspection of vertical service risers which are common breach points for fire compartmentation in mansion blocks.
Costed remediation programmes to address identified fire-stopping breaches, prioritised by risk level.
Mansion blocks have multiple service risers, altered service penetrations and aging fire-stopping that may have been compromised over decades of maintenance works.
We recommend fire compartmentation surveys every 3-5 years, or after any significant building works affecting communal areas or service risers.
Breached fire-stopping at service risers, defective flat entrance fire doors, compromised compartment walls from service upgrades and missing fire-stopping at ceiling voids are frequently found.
Yes, we regularly work with managing agents and resident management companies to deliver compartmentation surveys and manage remediation programmes.
