Compartmentation · Fire doors · Compliance
Compartmentation and fire door surveys that help you understand defects, plan remedial works and manage fire safety compliance.
Our services
Sentry Fire focuses on the elements that help contain fire and smoke within a building. Our surveys identify visible defects and areas that need further investigation.
Inspection of compartment walls, floors, ceilings and service penetrations to identify breaches and assess the condition of fire-stopping measures.
Accessible compartment boundaries, service openings, fire-stopping materials and interfaces. Where concealed construction cannot be verified, further or intrusive inspection can be identified within the survey findings.
Inspection of fire door sets to assess their condition and record defects affecting the door, frame, hardware and operation.
Door leaves and frames, gaps, hinges, closing devices, relevant seals and visible damage, with observations recorded for each inspected door set.
Clear survey findings to help building owners and managers understand issues and establish the scope of remedial works.
Documented observations support maintenance planning, remedial specifications and follow-up verification. The scope and limitations of inspection help distinguish confirmed defects from areas requiring further investigation.
From inspection to action
A survey should give you information you can use. We focus on explaining what was observed, where it was found and what needs attention.
Establish the building areas, access arrangements and survey requirements.
Assess accessible elements and document observations and inspection limitations.
Use the findings to identify remedial works and areas requiring further investigation.
Nationwide coverage
Compartmentation surveys, fire door surveys and compliance support across the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland.
Before your survey
It examines the construction and fire-stopping measures intended to restrict the spread of fire and smoke between building areas. It helps identify visible breaches, defects and areas where the installation needs further verification.
Inspection depends on safe access and the agreed scope. Concealed elements may require intrusive inspection. Areas that cannot be verified should be recorded as limitations or recommended for further investigation.
Yes. Sentry Fire offers surveys across the UK, including Northern Ireland. For a portfolio, prepare a list of site locations, approximate sizes and access requirements so the survey programme can be scoped.
The building postcode, property type, service required and approximate number of fire doors or areas to inspect. Available drawings, previous survey reports and access restrictions also help define the scope.
Plan your survey
Tell us what you need surveyed and where the building is. We’ll use these details to follow up about scope and access.
