What are fire remedial works and why are they important?

Fire remedial works are corrective fire safety measures carried out to fix defects, failures, or non-compliant elements identified during fire risk assessments, inspections, or audits. They’re essential for restoring the integrity of passive and active fire protection systems so a building performs as intended in the event of a fire. By addressing issues such as missing fire stopping, damaged fire doors, or failed compartmentation, fire remedial works help protect lives, limit fire spread, and ensure legal compliance.

Common Fire Deficiencies in Buildings

Fire safety inspections frequently uncover defects that compromise compartmentation and escape routes. Common fire deficiencies include:

 

  • Missing or damaged fire door seals – Intumescent and smoke seals that are damaged or absent prevent fire doors from containing smoke and flames, compromising escape routes.
  • Non-functioning or poorly fitted door closers – Fire doors that do not self-close fully cannot perform as designed, allowing fire and smoke to spread unchecked.
  • Gaps or failed fire stopping around services – Unsealed or incorrectly sealed penetrations for pipes, cables, and ducts create direct pathways for fire and smoke between compartments.
  • Damaged or non-compliant fire-rated partitions – Cracks, alterations, or unapproved materials in partitions reduce fire resistance and undermine compartmentation.
  • Outdated or poorly maintained fire curtains – Fire curtains that are damaged, incorrectly installed, or not regularly tested may fail to deploy during a fire.
  • Unprotected structural steel or service risers – Exposed structural elements can lose strength rapidly in a fire if not adequately fire protected.
  • Unrecorded alterations or building works – Refurbishments and maintenance works often introduce new fire risks when penetrations or fire protection measures are not reinstated or documented properly.

Ark's FRA Fire Remedial Works Process

Our Fire Risk Assessment Remedial Works process is thorough, professional, and tailored to your business. We work with you to develop a plan that meets your individual needs and safety requirements.

Fire Safety Survey and Inspection

We begin with a detailed fire safety survey, typically informed by a third-party Fire Risk Assessment. This inspection reviews compartmentation, fire doors, fire stopping, partitions, and other passive fire protection measures to understand the current condition of the building.

Deficiency Identification and Risk Assessment

Any non-compliances or defects are identified and assessed based on risk level, fire strategy, and regulatory requirements. This ensures that life-critical issues and high-risk deficiencies are prioritised appropriately.

Specification of Remedial Actions

A clear scope of remedial works is developed, specifying the required repairs, replacements, or upgrades. All recommendations align with Building Regulations Approved Document B, relevant British Standards, and the building’s fire strategy.

Repair or Replacement by Certified Installers

Our certified engineers carry out the required remedial works, which may include fire door repairs, fire stopping remediation, partition upgrades, or fire-resisting construction. All work is completed using tested, third-party accredited systems.

Testing, Inspection, and Certification

Once works are complete, installations are inspected and tested where required to confirm correct performance. Certification and photographic evidence are provided to demonstrate compliance and support audit or enforcement requirements.

Ongoing Maintenance and Compliance Support

Fire remedial works do not end at completion. We provide guidance on ongoing inspection, maintenance, and future compliance to help ensure fire safety measures remain effective throughout the building’s lifecycle.

  • Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 – Updates responsibilities for building owners and managers, including stricter inspection, maintenance, and record-keeping requirements for fire safety measures.

Fire Remedial Works FAQs

What are fire remedial works?

Fire remedial works are corrective actions taken to address fire safety deficiencies identified during a Fire Risk Assessment. They involve repairing, replacing, or upgrading fire protection systems to ensure buildings meet regulatory standards and effectively contain fire and smoke.

Why are fire remedial works important?

These works are crucial for maintaining occupant safety, protecting property, and ensuring compliance with UK fire safety regulations. Addressing deficiencies reduces the risk of fire spread, supports safe evacuation, and mitigates legal and financial liabilities.

Which systems are typically repaired or replaced during fire remedial works?

Common systems include fire doors and door seals, fire-stopping materials, fire-rated partitions, fire curtains, alarm systems, and other passive or active fire protection elements that have been identified as non-compliant or damaged.

Who is responsible for carrying out fire remedial works?

The building’s “Responsible Person” under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – typically the owner, manager, or employer – is legally accountable for ensuring remedial works are completed. Certified contractors or specialists usually carry out the physical works to guarantee compliance and safety.
