MAGG Fire Services provides professional fire separation surveys to ensure your building is fully protected against the spread of fire and smoke. Our detailed inspections help identify weaknesses in compartmentation, improve fire safety standards, and support compliance with UK fire safety legislation.
A properly maintained fire separation system is essential for protecting lives, property, and business continuity. Our surveys give you clear insight into the condition of your building’s fire-resistant elements and practical recommendations to address any issues identified.
A fire separation survey is a comprehensive inspection of a building’s fire compartmentation, including walls, floors, ceilings, fire doors, fire-stopping materials, and service penetrations. The purpose is to confirm that fire-resistant barriers are correctly installed, undamaged, and performing as intended.
Walls, floors, and ceilings are checked for fire-resistant integrity.
Fire doors, seals, joints, and penetration points are assessed.
Fire-stopping materials and service penetrations are inspected.
Gaps, damage, or unauthorised modifications are documented.
During the survey, our qualified engineers assess the integrity of fire doors, seals, joints, and penetration points to ensure that fire and smoke cannot spread between compartments. Any gaps, damage, or unauthorised modifications are identified and documented, along with clear recommendations for remedial action.
Effective fire compartmentation is critical for slowing the spread of fire and smoke, protecting escape routes, and allowing safe evacuation. Regular fire separation surveys help reduce risk, safeguard occupants, and maintain compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (revised 2023).
These inspections also support fire risk assessments, insurance requirements, and regulatory audits. Failure to maintain adequate fire separation can result in enforcement action, financial penalties, or invalidated insurance cover.

Fire separation surveys are typically recommended annually as part of an ongoing fire safety management programme. However, more frequent inspections may be necessary where:
Inspection triggers include:
Building alterations or refurbishments have taken place
Fire doors, walls, or compartmentation have been damaged
The building’s use, layout, or occupancy has changed
High-risk operations are introduced
Regular inspections ensure that compartmentation remains effective and compliant over time.
Fire separation surveys are essential for commercial, industrial, and public buildings, particularly those with complex layouts or multiple fire compartments. They are highly recommended for offices, factories, warehouses, healthcare facilities, schools, care homes, and multi-occupied premises.
Buildings undergoing refurbishment, change of use, or structural alterations should also arrange a fire separation survey to confirm that fire barriers remain intact and compliant.
