Passive fire protection is often "hidden" within the fabric of a building. While fire doors are visible, the cavity barriers and fire stopping seals behind walls and above ceilings are easily overlooked. At Crown Fire Systems, we advocate for a proactive approach to fire safety maintenance across London, Surrey, and the surrounding counties.

The integrity of a building’s compartmentation can be compromised by simple maintenance tasks, such as a contractor pulling a new cable through a fire wall. Without a regular passive fire protection survey, these small gaps can become major safety failures.

What to Expect from a Passive Fire Protection Survey

A professional survey is the first step in understanding your building’s current safety level. As a specialist fire proofing company, our experts conduct thorough investigations to identify vulnerabilities.

Our surveys typically cover:

• Fire Door Audits: Checking for wear and tear, incorrect ironmongery, or excessive gaps that could allow smoke to bypass the door.
• Compartmentation Checks: Inspecting walls, floors, and ceilings to ensure fire-rated barriers remain intact.
• Service Penetrations: Verifying that pipes, ducts, and cables passing through fire walls are correctly sealed with compliant fire stopping materials.

Fire Door Maintenance and Repair

For many businesses in the City and Greater London, fire doors are the most hardworking part of their fire strategy. High footfall leads to damaged closers, hinges, and intumescent seals.

If you are looking for fire door repairs near me, it is essential to choose a team that understands the latest BS EN 13501 standards. We provide comprehensive fire doors maintenance packages to ensure your doors are not only functional but fully compliant with the latest UK building regulations.

The Role of Specialist Fire Barrier Installers

Fire barriers are crucial for preventing the "chimney effect" in wall cavities and ceiling voids. Our team of fire barrier installers ensures that these hidden defences are fitted to exact manufacturer specifications. By using digital tools like OneTrace, we provide you with a photographic record of these barriers before they are closed up, giving you peace of mind that the work has been done correctly.
