Fire Stopping Survey
A Fire Stopping Survey is an integral part of a passive fire protection plan. Without the proper preventative measures in place, a fire can rapidly spread through the structural integrity of a building putting many lives at risk.
A Fire Stopping Survey from RM Risk Management can ensure that this isn’t the case should a fire event unfortunately occur.
A Fire Stopping Survey will determine areas where fire resisting walls have been breached, so the correct remedial works can be performed to restrict the spread of fire and smoke through your building. Any penetrations in the fire resisting barriers throughout should be fire-stopped using the approved products in the correct applications. It is also vital to ensure the fire resisting element is maintained above fire doors.
We can identify the problem areas and perform a detailed inspection above suspended ceilings, loft spaces and between floors to ensure fire cannot extend through the building by means of travelling through the voids.
Our surveyors are knowledgeable of the following:
- Fire stopping techniques, products and materials
- Fire doors and the need to fire stop around door frames
- Compartmentation required between floors and around risk areas
- BS 476 and associated standards for fire resistance testing
Our clients receive a professionally produced survey report that is easy to understand with a list of recommendations, and should any question arise our expert team is always happy to assist.
We have a team of contractors on hand to provide quotations for remedial works if necessary.

Our Process
Assess
To assist in your understanding of health and safety requirements, we will identify hazards on site and, for each one, we will determine how well we believe you are currently complying with health and safety standards through observation, evaluation of documentation and discussion.
Validate
For quality assurance, RM has a two stage validation process for each and every audit that is published. First the report is verified by the assessor that carried out the assessment, and secondly the respective Department Head reviews and validates the report before publishing to the client.
Report
To help you to actively manage your risks, RM publishes all of its assessment reports to BLOCK7 where, amongst other things, you will be able to view and download static and dynamic PDF reports. In addition, you can view and search risks according to the categorisation of Intolerable, Substantial and Moderate, or Monitor & Review with Traffic Light methodology.
