Richmond upon Thames has a varied building stock requiring fire compartmentation assessment, from purpose-built blocks in Richmond and Twickenham to converted properties in Barnes and healthcare buildings.
Our fire compartmentation surveys in Richmond identify deficiencies in fire stopping, assess compartment wall and floor construction, and evaluate cavity barrier provision across the borough.
Whether you manage a residential block in Richmond town centre, a converted property in Barnes, or a care home in Twickenham, our RICS regulated surveys provide thorough assessment.
Assessment of fire stopping at service penetrations in Richmond residential blocks and converted period properties, where alterations and service upgrades have compromised fire-separating elements.

Yes. We survey care homes, clinics and healthcare premises with particular compartmentation requirements due to occupant vulnerability and progressive horizontal evacuation needs.
Effective compartmentation is both a regulatory requirement and an insurance consideration. Buildings with known deficiencies may face increased premiums or difficulty obtaining cover.
