Fire Stopping Remedial Works

How are remedial works scoped?

Works are scoped from the survey report and the decisions your Responsible Person has made with their Fire Risk Assessor. Proposed works should be reviewed against the fire risk assessment and the building's compartmentation strategy before they are instructed, so the work fixes the right things in the right way.

The survey report is not a works specification. Before work starts, the installer visits, verifies the scope and confirms the products that suit each penetration and substrate.

Who carries out the work?

Remedial works are delivered by third-party-certificated passive fire protection installers. Third-party certification means the installer's competence and work are independently checked by a certification body.

Fire Stopping Surveys and RiSKFiX LLP survey and report; the installation itself is carried out by the certificated installer.

Is the completed work certified?

Where the certification scheme's criteria are met, the completed work is certified by the installer under their scheme.

Sometimes those criteria cannot be met, for example where an existing arrangement of services does not match any tested configuration. In that case the work is completed to best-practice installation standards and should be reviewed by your Fire Risk Assessor.

Products used are tested to recognised standards such as BS EN 1366-3:2021 and classified to BS EN 13501-2:2023.

How is the work recorded?

Each completed seal is labelled and photographed, so you have a record of what was done, where, and with what. Records are tied back to the original survey references, so you can see each observation closed off.

What if the scope changes on site?

It often does: opening a riser can reveal more than was visible during the survey. Any change to the agreed scope happens only by written change notice, agreed before the extra work is carried out. There are no surprises on the final account.

What is not included?

Making good finishes, such as plastering and decoration, is by others unless it is included in the quote. Asbestos must be managed in line with your asbestos register before work starts in affected areas.

Works are planned around your operations, in the same way as our surveys.
