FRA Passive Fire RepairsActions Closed with EvidenceLondon, Kent, Sussex & Surrey
Turn an FRA action list into a closed, evidenced programme — fire doors, fire stopping and compartmentation remedials in one package, delivered by a BM TRADA third-party certified specialist and referenced action-by-action to the original FRA.
5 years' passive fire experience. One point of accountability across doors, stopping and compartmentation.
What this service is — and when you need it.
End-to-end delivery of the passive fire actions raised on a fire risk assessment — fire door remedials, fire stopping, compartmentation reinstatement and associated works — closed with certified systems and evidence referenced to the FRA action numbers.
Duty holders, housing associations, managing agents, HRB principal accountable persons, healthcare estates and commercial premises managers with open FRA actions.
As soon as an FRA is issued with passive fire actions, when a re-inspection date is fixed, or when enforcement or insurance pressure requires actions to be closed down.
FRA actions require certified systems and evidence, not just work being done. A single specialist covering doors, stopping and compartmentation avoids the gaps between trades where actions get lost.
The consequence of leaving it.
- Open FRA actions accumulate into enforcement risk, insurer exposure and, on HRBs, mandatory reporting.
- Actions closed without evidence get re-raised at re-inspection — you pay twice.
- Split scopes across multiple trades introduce the gaps where compartmentation is silently compromised.
What we see go wrong.
- Marking actions closed without photo evidence tied to a location.
- Using different contractors for doors, stopping and compartmentation with no coordination — the joins fail.
- Closing 'easy wins' first and letting high-consequence actions drift.
- Not archiving the evidence pack into the building safety file — the work is done and can't be proven.
A step-by-step system, from survey to handover.
-
Step 1FRA action triage

-
Step 3Delivery in one package
Doors, stopping and compartmentation delivered by one specialist team — no gaps between trades.
-
Step 4Evidence per action
Every closed action documented with a photo pack, product datasheets and, where relevant, the Record of Insulation.
-
Step 5Close-out into the safety file
Evidence pack indexed against the original FRA action list and issued into the building safety file.
Specific outcomes, not vague promises.
Certified systems and evidence per action — not just work done in the vicinity.
One point of contact across every passive fire discipline in the FRA.
Evidence pack matches the assessor's action numbering, so sign-off is a document review rather than a second site visit.
Evidence pack survives scrutiny from the Regulator, insurers and legal review.
Delivered direct to duty holders or subcontracted under a principal contractor as required.
Weekly action-by-action progress reporting on larger programmes.
Materials, methods and where each applies.

How FRA actions map to passive fire disciplines
Most passive fire FRA actions fall into one of three categories — fire doorsets (installation, replacement, seal, closer and hinge remedials), fire stopping (service penetrations, linear gaps, construction joints) and compartmentation (walls, floors, ceilings, riser integrity). A single specialist across all three closes the joins where actions typically get lost.
Evidence — what the safety file actually needs
Each closed action needs an evidence artefact: photo before/after, product datasheet, and — for fire stopping — a Record of Insulation entry. Priority, action number and location are all referenced so the safety file can be searched against any single action number.
Working with existing FRA leads and duty holders
The programme is designed to feed straight into the FRA lead's action tracker — same numbering, same priority scheme, same location referencing. Sign-off at re-inspection becomes a paperwork review, not another survey.
Enforcement, insurance and Building Safety Regulator context
Open actions on high-risk buildings are increasingly visible to the Building Safety Regulator, and insurers are asking for evidenced close-out at renewal. A programme built to produce evidence per action addresses both audiences at once.
What we do not offer
We do not offer product warranties on the works. The evidence pack is what protects the duty holder — certified systems installed to test detail, documented per action. That is what the FRA process and the safety file require.
Straight answers on cost, timing and process.
How much does FRA passive fire close-out cost?+
Priced by action list. Send the FRA and you'll get a scoped programme, action-by-action, with evidence deliverables built in.
How long does it take to close an FRA action list?+
Depends on action count, access and building type. Small commercial premises can be days; multi-block HRB programmes are weeks to months, phased by block.
Do you guarantee the works?+
No product warranty is offered. The deliverable is certified systems installed to their tested detail, documented per action — which is what the FRA re-inspection needs.
Can you work under our principal contractor?+
Yes — we operate either direct to duty holder or as a subcontract specialist to principal contractors and major refurb teams.
Do you handle the re-inspection sign-off?+
We supply the evidence pack referenced to each FRA action; sign-off is carried out by the FRA lead or fire risk assessor. Our pack is structured so that sign-off is a document review.
Can you work in occupied buildings?+
Yes — most of the workload is in occupied HRBs, housing association stock and NHS estates. Access is phased.
Do you take on partial FRA scopes?+
Yes — doors-only, stopping-only or compartmentation-only scopes are all quoted. The reason the combined scope is often better value is coordination at the joins.
Which areas do you cover?+
London, Kent, Sussex, Surrey and the surrounding boroughs including Croydon, Sutton, Bromley, Sevenoaks and Crawley.
How is the evidence delivered?+
As an indexed pack — photos per action, product datasheets, Record of Insulation for stopping — issued into the building safety file at close-out.
