What We Do

Complete Fire Door & Passive Fire Protection Services

A full suite of fire door and passive fire protection services — from initial survey through to certified installation and ongoing maintenance. One team, one point of contact, total accountability.

Fire Door Inspection

Methodical, component-by-component inspections carried out by Level 3 qualified inspectors. We check the leaf, frame, intumescent strips, smoke seals, hinges and self-closers — then document every finding with photographs and plain-English guidance on what passes and what needs putting right.

Fire Door Installation & Repairs

From swapping out a single failed doorset to rolling out a full programme of remedial works, our joiners fit certified doorsets and carry out precise, appropriate repairs. We aim to restore fire performance properly — without padding the bill with replacements you don't need.

Fire Risk Assessment

Practical, building-specific assessments that go well beyond a tick-box exercise. We walk your premises, weigh up occupancy and real-world hazards, and hand you a prioritised action plan that holds up to scrutiny from insurers and the enforcing authority alike.

Fire Stopping Survey

Breaches in compartmentation usually hide above ceilings and inside risers until it's too late. Our passive fire protection surveyors trace service penetrations and cavities, mapping exactly where your building's hidden fire barriers have been compromised.

Fire Stopping Installation & Repairs

Using only third-party tested and certified systems, we reinstate fire barriers around pipes, cables, structural joints and cavity spaces. The result is restored compartmentation that keeps fire contained where it starts and buys occupants vital escape time.

Fire Evacuation Plans

Clear, building-specific evacuation strategies with mapped escape routes, assembly points and fire action notices. Each plan is drawn around your actual layout and occupancy to satisfy the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Why Work With Us

Straightforward Fire Safety, Done Right First Time

We believe fire safety should be clear and honest — straight advice, fair pricing and work that stands up to scrutiny.

Built Around Your Building

A Victorian print works off Fore Street carries very different fire risks to a modern unit on Futura Park or Ransomes Europark. We assess your actual building fabric, layout and use before we recommend anything — so you only pay for what genuinely protects it.

The result: No generic, copy-paste reports. You get a targeted plan that tackles the real risks in your premises.

Qualified, Accredited & Accountable

Our inspectors hold Level 3 fire door inspection qualifications and our installers work to recognised third-party schemes. We carry full professional indemnity cover and stand behind every job we complete.

The result: A complete audit trail and proper certification you can put confidently in front of an insurer, landlord or local authority.

Regulation-Ready Reporting

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 tightened inspection duties for commercial and mixed-use buildings. Our reports are structured to evidence compliance with the Fire Safety Order 2005, Building Regulations and BS 8214 2026.

The result: When the enforcing authority asks for your records, everything is documented, dated and defensible.

Genuinely Local, Properly Resourced

Based in Suffolk, our teams are within easy reach of Ipswich and the surrounding towns. That means quicker response times, lower mobilisation costs and engineers who actually understand the local building stock.

The result: Emergency call-outs, multi-site programmes and routine inspections handled efficiently — no long-distance overheads.
