CFS keeping your buildings and people safe, our priority is your Fire Safety!
As you are aware the government is pressing hard to ensure that all “Responsible Persons” comply with fire regulations. At CFS we are more than aware that housing associations don’t have the staffing levels and extra time to deal with all this extra work load.

Fire door inspectionsCFS can help you to comply with new regulations by arranging to visit your properties, at regular intervals and inspect your fire doors. We will produce a detailed dated pictorial condition report along which with detail description of any work that is required to bring your fire doors up to BS8214.

Compartmentation SurveysCFS will visit your sites and report all deficiencies in relation to compartmental breaches. This will be produced as a written and pictorial report and a list of work required to rectify the deficiencies. This can then be used by you to gain quotations from your contractors. All compartmentation work should be done by suitable qualified contractors and backed up with a certificate of compliance.
Post inspection surveysOver the last four years we have witnessed poor installations of fire doors and fire stopping installations on both new build properties and existing schemes.
