Raising Standards for Fire Stopping and Fire Doors

Fire door remediation is more complex than installation and requires an array of specialist skills. We will determine whether your fire door needs to be remediated or replaced, and will work in a way that exemplifies our commitment to technical proficiency, regulatory compliance and customer service.

As well as installing fire doors in adherence to the latest regulations, our operatives specialise in fire door remediation – a particularly complex service. Our fire risk surveys will include a thorough inspection of all fire doors to determine whether they need to be brought up to the required standards or replaced entirely. During this process, we will work closely with building owners and landlords to ensure regulatory compliance, as well as treating occupants and tenants with the highest levels of professionalism and respect.

Our team conducts rigorous fire safety audits and will work with landlords and property owners to rectify incorrect installations, so that all fire doors comply fully with building regulations. We will work with the utmost consideration of tenants and occupants, especially those who may be considered vulnerable.

End-to-End Fire Protection Services

CLM Fireproofing offer bespoke, full-lifecycle solutions to address all of our client needs. This ensures they benefit fully from our expertise. We try to engage with clients as early as possible in the project lifecycle so that we completely understand requirements and set the highest possible standards from the start.

Once we discuss requirements and build sequencing, we will carry out an independent review to determine which systems must be installed for compliance, and which products will help fulfil project delivery. We will also complete rigorous health, safety, environmental and quality assurance reviews before the start of any project.

Before we commence project delivery, we offer our clients a specific Continued Professional Development (CPD) to identify potential knowledge gaps and educate site teams on passive fire protection best practice. We will then provide independent expert advice on systems installation and finally carry out a full handover, with Operations and Maintenance (O & M) manuals and a clear digital audit trail for project delivery.

Sustainability Commitments

CLM are fully conversant and committed to ensuring adherence to legislation and regulations aimed at minimising the impact of our activities to the environment and ensuring sustainability. Every member of the CLM Team undertakes an induction program and 6-month refresher training modules on CLM’s Environmental and Sustainability Policy. Project specific training is delivered to all on-site teams prior to any works commencing to support CLM trajectory towards Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is passive fire protection so important?

Passive fire protection is critical for a building and its occupants. Compared to other fire protection measures such as alarms and fire extinguishers, which alert occupants to the presence of a fire and help to combat the flames, passive fire protection reduces structural fire risks such as collapsed loadbearing elements and compromised escape routes. This means emergency responders have the time they need to quickly extinguish the fire and safely evacuate the building.

Who is responsible for initiating a passive fire protection project?

As specified in the Building Safety Act (2022), a building will have an ‘accountable person’, be it a landlord or owner, who must be proactive in their assessment and management of fire safety risks. This includes initiating passive fire risk surveys and subsequent installations. To find out more, take a look at our blog ‘Who is responsible for enforcing fire safety legislation?

How do I know if I need passive fire protection or firestopping services?

Passive fire protection must be incorporated into the initial construction process to minimise the risks of non-compliance. Buildings should then be inspected regularly by accredited professionals. This is especially important when renovations have been completed, as installations made by third party contractors could impact passive fire protection systems. Fire doors also form part of a passive fire protection strategy, and must be inspected regularly as per regulations for commercial and residential buildings.

What types of projects are the best fit for CLM Fireproofing?

CLM Fireproofing offers expert passive fire protection across various sectors, including education, healthcare and social housing. In terms of major projects, we specialise in high rise buildings such as residential flats, commercial buildings, new technology business units and student accommodation. We’ve worked on various major buildings in the London area, and continue to expand our repertoire of passive fire protection projects.

What different positions can CLM Fireproofing fulfil in my project?

We can assist clients in any capacity that require our technical expertise and substantial industry experience. In terms of new build construction, our specialists can be deployed from the Procurement or Technical Design phases of a project, based on the industry standard RIBA Plan of Work. Early engagement can ensure regulatory compliance throughout the entire project lifecycle. However, our commitment to customer service does not end with project completion. Due to the critical nature of our work, our aftercare team is on hand to support clients and maintenance teams however they can.

How will CLM Fireproofing provide a quote for passive fire protection services?

We understand every project is unique – with its own set of specifications, challenges or nuances. Our team create bespoke quotes for each project – utilising our early engagement process. They will work closely with you to define the project scope, identify potential issues, develop a schedule, and from that, provide a cost / quote estimation. We advocate the use of service scope matrixes and schedule of rates – which provide you as the client greater levels of cost certainty, transparency and auditability.
