Independent, Evidence-Based Surveys Surveys

IMG-20251127-WA0013

We carry out three principal survey types: fire door surveys (every doorset within scope, recorded against a digital register); compartmentation surveys (every wall, floor, service penetration and cavity within scope, recorded against the building drawings); and Type 4 intrusive fire risk assessments (a destructive sample-based investigation of concealed construction). All three are delivered by surveyors holding relevant third-party qualifications and using calibrated equipment.

Where the client requires a single combined report — for example, a fire risk assessment supplemented by a fire door and compartmentation survey — we package the outputs into a single deliverable that aligns to the building’s safety case under the Building Safety Act 2022.

  • Fire door surveys to BS 8214 and FDIS standards
  • Compartmentation surveys to ASFP TGD 19 guidance
  • Type 4 intrusive fire risk assessments
  • External wall (EWS1 / PAS 9980) supporting surveys

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Type 4 fire risk assessment?

Ans. Type 4 is the most thorough class of fire risk assessment under PAS 79, involving destructive sampling of concealed construction to verify compartmentation and cavity barriers. It’s typically required for high-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Ans. An experienced surveyor can survey 30–50 doorsets per day depending on access. A 200-door residential block typically takes four to seven days on site, plus reporting time.

Ans. Absolutely. Most of our survey work is on existing buildings installed by others. Independence is a strength — clients value the objectivity of a surveyor with no conflict of interest in the findings.
