How we serve London.
Flame Solutions Ltd delivers certified passive fire protection across every London borough — from central Zone 1 commercial premises to outer-borough HRBs in Croydon, Sutton, Bromley and beyond. The work is led by Michael Sully, whose BM TRADA third-party certification is held via Sully Form Ltd, and every job is scoped, delivered and handed over with the evidence pack the Building Safety Regulator and FRA process actually require.
London is the core of our operating area. Our base at Coulsdon (CR5) sits on the A23 corridor with direct access into the London boroughs and out into Kent, Sussex and Surrey — which is how we hold same-day or next-day site attendance across the capital without being tied to central rates. The London workload spans FRA close-outs on housing association blocks, fire door replacement programmes on council stock, fire stopping and compartmentation for HRBs, and passive fire packages inside commercial fit-outs across the West End, City and Docklands.
Postcodes covered: SW, SE, N, E, W, NW, EC, WC, CR, SM, BR, KT.

Local problems that shape the work.
HRB duty-holder pressure post-Building Safety Act
London's high-rise residential stock now sits inside a formal Building Safety Regulator regime. Duty holders can't rely on 'work done' — they need evidenced, certified installation per action. That is the standard of documentation we build every job around.
Legacy compartmentation in older council stock
Large parts of London's council and housing association stock were built decades before current compartmentation testing was routine. Type 4 surveys almost always reveal unrecorded penetrations, incomplete head-of-wall details and legacy alterations that broke compartment lines.
High-density M&E in commercial fit-outs
London commercial fit-outs run high service density through compartment walls and slabs — cable trays, plastic pipework, ductwork. Every penetration is an opportunity for the compartment line to fail without a certified detail.
Access, out-of-hours and phased occupation
Occupied residential blocks, live NHS estates and trading commercial premises need phased access. We programme by floor, block and access window rather than expecting whole-building shutdown.

Straight answers for London duty holders and contractors.
Do you cover all London boroughs?+
Yes — every London borough, from central to outer. Base is Coulsdon (CR5) which gives direct access into south, central, east and west London.
How fast can you attend a London site?+
Typically same-day or next-day site attendance for London jobs, subject to programme. Emergency and out-of-hours attendance is priced separately.
How much does fire door installation cost in London?+
Priced by doorset specification, ironmongery schedule and access. London HRB and housing association programmes are priced per door with volume; one-off commercial doors are priced individually. Send the schedule or FRA extract for a fixed quotation.
Do you work on HRBs subject to the Building Safety Regulator?+
Yes — high-rise residential is a core part of the London workload. Every job is delivered with certified systems and per-action evidence into the building safety file.
Can you close out FRA passive fire actions across a London portfolio?+
Yes — the standard deliverable is a priced programme against the FRA action list, closed action-by-action with evidence referenced to the action number.
Do you offer a warranty on London installations?+
We do not offer an additional product warranty. The certified systems used carry their own third-party test evidence; our deliverable is evidenced installation to the tested detail.
Do you work direct for London housing associations, or only through main contractors?+
Both. Direct engagement for London housing associations, councils and managing agents; subcontract engagement under principal contractors on major refurbishment programmes.
Can you work out of hours in central London?+
Yes, where the building requires it — retail units, occupied NHS corridors, commercial premises with tenant hours. Out-of-hours working is priced into the quotation.
Which parts of London are you fastest to?+
South and central London are directly on the A23 corridor from our Coulsdon base — CR, SM, SE, SW and central postcodes reach quickest. East, north and west London are all covered on standard programme lead times.
Do you carry insurance suitable for London commercial and residential works?+
Yes — £10M employers' liability and £5M public liability, with Constructionline Silver, SafeContractor and SIPS Health & Safety accreditation.
