How we serve Kent.
Flame Solutions Ltd delivers certified passive fire protection across Kent — from the Bromley boundary through Sevenoaks and out to the Medway towns, Maidstone, Ashford and the Kent coast. The work is led by Michael Sully, with BM TRADA third-party certification held via Sully Form Ltd, and every job is delivered with the evidence pack the FRA process needs.
Kent's mix of housing association residential, healthcare estates and commercial premises means the passive fire scope varies from fire door surveys on multi-block portfolios through to riser stopping and compartmentation reinstatement in care homes and hospitals. Our Coulsdon (CR5) base sits directly on the A23/M25 junction, giving straightforward access east into Kent — typically next-day site attendance, with same-day attendance for the western Kent boroughs closest to us.

Local problems that shape the work.
Ageing housing association stock
Kent's housing association portfolios span decades of construction standards. Compartment walls that met the standards of their era often no longer perform against current expectations — Type 4 surveys typically reveal unrecorded penetrations and linear defects.
Care home and healthcare compartmentation
Care homes and healthcare buildings across Kent operate under stringent fire strategies and staff-assisted evacuation regimes. That places disproportionate weight on compartmentation actually being intact — not just documented as intact.
Village and market-town property variability
Around Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and the smaller Kent towns, building stock is highly varied — Victorian converted premises, modern extensions and historic elements often coexist within a single building. Fire detail decisions have to respect the substrate, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Coastal and marine-adjacent buildings
Coastal locations in Kent's CT postcodes expose seals and ironmongery to more aggressive weathering. Component selection has to reflect the environment as well as the certification.
