Once you select a quotation, you are introduced directly to the appointed fire safety specialist who will carry out the survey. From this point, they manage all technical delivery.

The cost of a Fire Compartmentation Survey depends on the size, layout and complexity of the building, as well as the areas requiring inspection. We provide tailored quotes based on the required survey scope, access requirements and level of reporting needed.
Factors that can affect the cost include:
Each quotation provides a clear scope of works, ensuring you understand what is included before any survey begins.
A fire compartmentation survey is a detailed inspection of the walls, floors, ceilings, risers, and voids within a building to confirm that fire and smoke would be contained within designated areas for the required period of time.
An FRA provides an overall review of fire safety risks in a building, while a compartmentation survey is a focused, intrusive investigation into whether fire-stopping and compartment lines are intact and compliant.
Yes, in some cases. If your FRA raises concerns about fire-stopping, unseen voids, or compartmentation breaches, a dedicated survey may be required to investigate further.
Yes, it is usually at least partially intrusive. Inspectors often need to open up walls, ceilings, and risers to check hidden areas where fire or smoke could spread undetected. All works are reinstated once inspections are complete.
Only competent, accredited professionals should undertake these surveys. Look for inspectors certified under UKAS-accredited schemes such as IFC Certification, BM TRADA, or FIRAS, with full insurance and evidence of competency.
Typical triggers include:
Following a fire risk assessment recommendation
After refurbishment or structural works
To support EWS1 or FRAEW requirements
At the request of insurers or regulators
When there are resident or tenant safety concerns
It depends on building size, access, and the number of inspection points. Small buildings may be surveyed in a day, while larger or high-rise properties can take several days.
Yes. You will receive a full written report, complete with photographic evidence, risk-rated findings, and clear recommendations for remedial works where needed.
