Newham has experienced substantial residential development, with new-build towers around Stratford and the Royal Docks alongside established council and housing association estates across the borough.
Our fire compartmentation surveys in Newham assess fire stopping, compartment wall and floor construction, service penetration sealing and cavity barrier provision across the borough.
Whether you manage a new-build tower near Stratford, a post-war estate in Canning Town, or a converted property in Forest Gate, our RICS regulated surveys provide comprehensive assessment.

Survey of all service penetrations through compartment lines, including mechanical ventilation risers, electrical systems and plumbing stacks in Newham residential buildings.

View ServiceYes. New-build towers can have deficiencies from construction-phase defects, including incomplete fire stopping, missing cavity barriers and poorly sealed service penetrations.
Post-war blocks commonly have deteriorated fire stopping around service risers, breached compartment walls from modernisation, and missing cavity barriers in over-cladding systems.
Yes. We work with local authorities on phased programmes covering multiple blocks, providing consistent assessment and reporting for portfolio-wide remediation planning.
The Building Safety Act requires building safety cases for higher-risk buildings over 18 metres. Compartmentation surveys provide essential evidence documenting passive fire protection condition.
