Passive Fire Protection for Councils & Local Authorities – London & Home Counties
Public buildings and housing stock under council management carry a distinct legal and moral duty when it comes to fire safety. From high-rise flats to civic centres and care facilities, fire protection measures must not only exist — they must be auditable, current, and aligned with statutory regulations.
At Prospect Fire, we deliver certified passive fire protection for councils and local authorities across London and the Home Counties, supporting building safety through comprehensive fire door and fire stopping inspections, installations, and ongoing compliance management.
London Council Fire Door Surveys – Estate-Wide Compliance
Our certified surveyors carry out thorough, regulation-aligned council fire door surveys across all types of public buildings — including residential blocks, libraries, leisure centres, depots, and administrative facilities.
Our door surveys inspect:
- Door leaf, frame and seals
- Intumescent and smoke barriers
- Ironmongery compatibility
- Signage, closers and hardware
- Installation integrity and certification trail
Surveys are conducted in line with LPS 1197 standards and formatted for integration into council asset databases, housing management platforms and O&M documentation.
For large housing estates, we offer phased surveying strategies with tenant engagement support and minimal disruption — ideal for borough-wide asset reviews.
Council Fire Stopping London Contractors – Trusted & Accredited
Fire stopping integrity is central to maintaining compartmentation and preventing the spread of fire and smoke. Prospect Fire’s fully trained and third-party accredited teams deliver expert fire stopping for service penetrations, voids, risers, and linear joints.
Our council fire stopping contractors work to LPS 1531 standards, using tested and certified products in all applications — from social housing and schools to transport hubs and care homes.
Typical remedial and installation works include:
- Batt and mastic seal installations
- Load-bearing compound applications
- Intumescent wraps and collars
- Fire curtain and cavity barrier fitting
- Non-standard detailing consultation
All works are documented with before/after photos, GPS location tagging, and product certification records via our digital traceability system.
