Most buildings pass the fire inspection.
Then fail the passive one.
A passive fire audit is an independent, photographed check of the fire protection built into your walls, floors and shafts — the part nobody can see once the ceiling is closed. We walk the building, find the gaps, and hand you a list in the order it should be fixed.
The reason this matters is simple. Inspections look at what can be tested — pumps, hydrants, alarms, extinguishers. All of that is visible and all of it gets attention. The passive side sits above ceilings and inside risers, and it is usually the work of a subcontractor who left the site two years ago. A building can have a perfect active fire system and forty open cable holes.
Per building · prioritised gap report in 5 working days · the audit fee is adjusted against the remedial work if you appoint us.
Five things, on every floor.
Each one is photographed with its location written down, so the report can be handed to a contractor and acted on without a second site visit.
What the week looks like.
No surprises, no open-ended engagement. Four stages, and you know at each one what you have.
| Stage | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Short call — building type, floors, drawings if you have them, access constraints | A fixed scope and a date |
| Day 1–2 | Site walk. Shafts, risers, ceiling voids, steel, joints, doors. Photographed as we go | Nothing yet — we do not report from memory |
| Day 3–4 | Findings written up, each one located, photographed and rated | Draft gap list |
| Day 5 | Report handed over and walked through with your team | Prioritised report + NBC Part-IV summary |
Scroll sideways on a phone. Larger buildings take longer — we tell you that at Day 0, not Day 5.
Three reasons people call.
You do not need all three. One is usually enough to make the audit worth doing before you spend money on remedial work you may not need.
What people ask before booking an audit
Start with a short call, not a site visit.
Tell us the building type and the floor count. We will tell you whether an audit makes sense, and roughly what it would cost, before anyone comes to site.
