From Fire Risk Assessment to Installation
Ensuring a building is fully compliant with fire safety legislation requires more than just a Fire Risk Assessment. At Hicksfield FRA, we provide a complete end-to-end fire safety compliance service, helping building owners and responsible persons move from initial survey through to remedial works and installation.
Our approach ensures that fire safety issues are not only identified but also properly resolved, giving you confidence that your building meets current safety standards.
Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)
The first step in achieving fire safety compliance is carrying out a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment. Our qualified assessors inspect your premises to identify fire hazards, evaluate risks, and determine whether existing safety measures are adequate.
During an FRA we assess:
-
Sources of ignition such as electrical equipment, heating systems and kitchens
-
Fire detection and alarm systems
-
Emergency lighting and signage
-
Escape routes and fire exits
-
Fire doors and compartmentation
-
Firefighting equipment including extinguishers
-
Fire safety management procedures and staff training
Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed report with clear recommendations and an action plan to address any issues identified.
Fire Compartmentation Surveys
Fire compartmentation plays a crucial role in slowing the spread of fire and smoke within a building. Our compartmentation surveys examine fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings to ensure they are properly constructed and maintained.
We identify:
-
Breaches around service penetrations
-
Poorly sealed cable or pipe openings
-
Damaged or incomplete fire stopping
-
Structural weaknesses in fire-rated walls and floors
Any issues discovered during the survey can then be addressed through professional fire stopping and remedial works.
Fire doors are a critical part of passive fire protection. Our team carries out detailed fire door inspections to ensure doors perform correctly in the event of a fire.
We check:
-
Door leaf condition and integrity
-
Correct gaps around the door frame
-
Intumescent strips and smoke seals
-
Door closers and hardware
-
Fire door signage
-
Certification and compliance
Where defects are found, we provide recommendations and can arrange repairs or replacements where necessary.
Fire Door Inspections and Surveys
Passive Fire Protection Installation
Following surveys and inspections, our technicians carry out the installation and remedial works required to restore fire safety compliance.
Typical works include:
-
Fire stopping around cables, pipes, and ductwork
-
Installation of fire-rated sealants and compounds
-
Fire collars and wraps for plastic pipe penetrations
-
Fire door repairs or replacements
-
Sealing compartmentation breaches in walls and floors
All works are carried out using tested fire protection systems designed to maintain the fire resistance of the building structure.
