Fire Resisting Ductwork Surveys

Expert Surveys for Fire Resisting Ductwork & Enclosures

At FSL, we provide specialist surveys for fire resisting ductwork and enclosure systems, helping building owners, contractors, and facilities managers ensure their passive fire protection remains safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Whether you’re assessing an existing installation or planning a new project, our experienced surveyors deliver expert advice, detailed reporting, and practical recommendations to help you meet current fire safety standards with confidence.

Existing System Surveys

Our comprehensive surveys evaluate the condition, integrity, and compliance of existing fire resisting ductwork and enclosure systems.

During each inspection, we assess:

  • The overall condition of the system.
  • Installation quality and workmanship.
  • Compliance with current fire safety regulations and industry standards.
  • Signs of damage, deterioration, or poor installation.
  • Areas where fire resistance or compartmentation may be compromised.

Following the survey, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining our findings, supported by clear recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or remedial works where required.

Pre-Installation Surveys

Early planning is essential for a successful installation. Our pre-installation surveys help identify potential issues before work begins, reducing delays and ensuring systems are installed correctly the first time.

Our surveyors assess:

  • Site conditions.
  • Design requirements.
  • Available installation space.
  • Coordination with mechanical and building services.
  • Compliance with relevant fire safety standards.

By identifying potential challenges early, we help streamline installation, minimise costly changes, and support a compliant, efficient project.
