Review the information
Provide reports, asset references and drawings where available. We identify missing detail, survey needs and technical questions before confirming the affected scope.
FireX regional services
Passive Fire Protection in Essex
FireX supports residential and commercial property teams across Essex with fire door surveys, repairs and installation, fire stopping, compartmentation and damper services. From our Barking base, we plan the work around the property condition, available evidence and access requirements.
Have a report or defined scope?
Include the postcode, quantities and access requirements.
Regional capability
Clear repair packages for occupied Essex properties.
A fire door report and a compartmentation report can describe different parts of the same building problem. We retain their asset and location references, review what can be established from the information supplied and flag areas requiring inspection or technical clarification.
For an Essex estate, identify which buildings are occupied, who will organise appointments and whether risers or service cupboards can be accessed. Separating no-access locations from confirmed defects makes the quotation and subsequent progress reporting easier to manage.

Frequently asked questions
Planning passive fire work in Essex.
Do you cover Thurrock as well as the rest of Essex?+
Yes. Thurrock is included alongside the Essex locations listed on this page. Coverage is confirmed against the postcode, work package and supervision requirements.
Can you review fire door and compartmentation reports for the same property?+
Yes. Send both reports with plans where available. We will review the references and scope, identify information gaps and clarify which actions can be delivered together and which need further investigation.
How are inaccessible flats or cupboards handled?+
Access arrangements and responsibility for appointments are agreed before work. A failed visit or inaccessible location is recorded separately from completed work so that it can be rebooked and remains visible in the programme.
What should I send when requesting a quotation?+
Send the full survey or FRA actions, property address, approximate quantities, photographs and any drawings or product records. Include the required programme and access arrangements. We will identify information gaps before confirming the scope; any on-site survey requirements and charges are agreed before booking.
What certification and completion records does FireX provide?+
FireX holds BM TRADA Q-Mark scopes for Fire Door Installation (STD 052), Fire Door Maintenance (STD 058) and Fire Stopping Installation (STD 05B). Certification depends on the applicable scope and supporting evidence. Qualifying door repairs receive a maintenance certificate; nominal-door remedials receive a worksheet and photographs, which do not retrospectively certify fire resistance. Handover records and any outstanding items are agreed for the contract. These three schemes do not cover every service offered.
