A survey tells you what is wrong. It does not fix anything.
That is on purpose. If the same people find the gaps and then price to seal them, you have no way to tell whether the list is honest. So we do the survey and the report as one job, and any repair as another.
Your options
Take the report to your own contractor and have them price it.
Send it out to tender, with the defect list as the scope.
Ask us to arrange the work. We use our FIRAS-certificated contractors for fire stopping, and we price it from your report. You do not have to say yes.
The report is yours whichever you choose.
What the work involves
Fire stopping means sealing gaps with a product tested for the job. For a pipe through a wall it might be a collar or a wrap. For a cable bundle it could be a pillow or a batt. For a joint at the top of a wall it is usually a sealant, shown in red in one of the photos on this page.
The choice depends on what is passing through, what the wall or floor is made of and how long it needs to hold. The surveyor's note gives you a start. The contractor decides.
What you should ask for
A record of each seal: location, product and a photo. Match it to the numbers in the survey report.
Third-party certification where it is required. Our FIRAS-certificated contractors carry that out.
A tidy site. Boards put back, dust cleared, access panels closed.
Why this site does not sell repairs
Because the job people actually bring us is the survey. Fire stopping prices depend on the number of defects, the access and the product, none of which we know until the survey is done.
Tell us about the building and we will explain how the work would go. For prices, we work from the report.
Questions we get asked
Can you reseal while surveying?
We do not. It would turn the survey into a repair job and make the report harder to trust.
Can a different contractor use your report?
Yes. That is what it is for.
Tell us the building type, the storeys and how many cores it has. We will come back with a price for the survey and the report.
