A regular planned preventative maintenance program is recommended for completed work required by article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
In relation to compartmentation, the following guidance could be adopted in accordance with BS 9999: 2017:
It is essential for the safety of the occupants of a building that fire safety equipment (including passive fire protection provisions) is inspected frequently. Although much of the inspection can be undertaken by suitably trained personnel, a formal agreement should be made with the installer or the installer’s representative to provide the regular inspection and testing described in the relevant British Standards for individual fire safety installations.
Cotswold Fire has surveys and reports tailored to the client’s situation, needs, and priorities.

In order to minimize fire damage, use compartmentation to stop a current fire before it spreads. Fire can be contained by splitting the building into compartments, forming a barrier against smoke, heat and toxic gases which would otherwise spread through the building.
Compartmentation is essential for fire fighting, so it's important that both the partition and doors are installed by a professional team who understands the importance of proper installation to increase safety.

Our team will accompany its visual inspection by assessing compartments within your building for any defects that may hinder their performance in a fire emergency.
Common defects include: simple penetrations, such as pipework entering or exiting a compartment with no gaps; or inappropriate firestopping, allowing smoke and/or fire to potentially pass from one compartment to another.
Cabling, voids, and linear gaps can induce compartment lines to fail. Malfunctions of these sorts should be regularly inspected to avoid energy waste.

There are a variety of compartmentation inspections to cater your needs. You may choose one based upon the type and use of your building, as well as any recommendations for fire safety from an existing risk assessment.

Fire door inspections are a series of defined protocols that determine the condition of a fire resistant door. Cotswold Fire professionals are properly trained and certified with one of many certifications to ensure thoroughness. Once inspection is complete, inspectors provide evaluation and remediation solutions to return the door back to its original condition for safety.
Third-party fire door certification provides an additional level of assurance for both the manufacturer and contractor that the standard is being met.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 outlines the legal obligations of the responsible person. It covers all maintenance of all elements of fire safety provisions within buildings. In BS8214 (c.13) and BS9999 (Annex L), routine inspections of fire doors are highlighted as necessary to maintain fire safety in buildings.
Cotswold Fire complies with third-party accreditations under the BRE/LPCB scheme. Our inspectors have the appropriate qualifications and credentials to ensure that our installs meet all safety regulations.
At Cotswold Services, our qualified fire door inspectors and maintainers are trained on the British Standard relating to fire protection as well as other publications and guidelines. Furthermore, we offer inspections for new installation of doors and repairs in the case of repair needed.

Passive fire protection reduces the expansion of a given fire to one area, giving those in that affected area time to escape and preventing the need for rescue personnel from entering if they are not needed. A fire door is an important tool in passive fire prevention because it seals off areas so they can be safely evacuated.
Fire doors are crucial for preventing fire in buildings, but they are at greater risk of breaking and compromising the building’s protection from fire. Prevent this unnecessary disruption by surveying regularly and fixing problems when found.

Fire doors require regular inspections to comply with safety regulations. Although not all fire-resistant doors are tested for compliance, LPS1197 inspection is the most common and only a certified professional can issue an LPS 1197 certificate so it is worth looking out for this logo on fire door signs. All of our surveys are completed with certification from your local inspector, including feedback about how compliant they think it is. We will also provide a copy of the full report if you request that at point of sale before buying - this includes specific details about which parts of your fire door need attention along with recommendations as to what you might want to do in order to protect its integrity for many years into the future and where unlisted items were found too.
During a fire door inspection our technicians inspect each component of the fire door assembly including:
Fire door and final fire exit inspections produce reports detailing the condition of each; non-compliance will be flagged for future ongoing inspections.

Cotswold Fires Services use electronic surveys and asset management records in an effort to identify each door set with a single identification number, which is commonly recorded on both location plans. This reduces maintenance costs of identifying individual doors; providing easier identification at any moment.
