What is Fire Compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation isolates fire/smoke at origin to protect lives, property, and adjacent areas.
Purpose
Fire-resistant walls/partitions, self-closing doors, smoke dampers, and intumescent seals for ducts, pipes, and cables.
Key Components
Fire-resistant walls/partitions, self-closing doors, smoke dampers, and intumescent seals for ducts, pipes, and cables.
Implementation and Benefits
Compartments high-rises, offices, or tunnels with BS 476/EN-tested 1-4 hour ratings; enhances sprinklers for resilience, compliance, lower premiums, and reduced losses.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What should be done about contractors creating service penetrations?
Require contractors to submit detailed risk assessments and plans that demonstrate they understand compartmentation rules, and insist on using certified professionals for sealing any openings with approved fire-resistant materials.
Does a type four Fire Risk Assessment cover the same as a Compartmentation Survey?
A type four assessment involves detailed inspections of shared spaces and some individual units with a broad focus on overall fire risks, whereas a compartmentation survey zeroes in specifically on the quality and effectiveness of fire-separating structures.
What are examples of hidden fire risks in compartmentation?
Common overlooked issues include unsealed spaces from wiring or cabling runs, faulty barriers in hidden cavities, and improper fits around doors that allow fire to pass through, which surveys can uncover.
What are the compartmentation requirements for multi-use buildings?
For structures with different functions, such as retail on the ground level and apartments above, you need at least one hour of fire resistance separating the various sections, plus individual fire safety evaluations for each tenant.
What should be done about small penetrations like gas or water pipes passing between flats?
Assess the extent and type of these openings, determine the construction of the surrounding barriers, and hire specialized fire-sealing experts to properly close them up, as part of a comprehensive risk review.
Are compartmentation surveys required by law in the UK?
Under the Building Safety Act 2022, maintaining and surveying fire compartmentation is mandatory for high-risk buildings, with regular checks needed to identify and fix breaches for ongoing compliance.
