Regional capability
Survey-to-remedial support for Kent and Medway estates.
For housing, schools and public buildings, a useful programme separates defects that can be priced from the report from those needing a closer inspection. Door references, penetration locations and access limitations are reviewed before a repair or installation package is agreed.
Where a Kent or Medway portfolio spans several towns, provide the property list and quantities by site. School calendars, resident appointments and building opening hours can then be considered alongside travel, supervision and the order of work.

Frequently asked questions
Planning passive fire work in Kent.
Does your Kent coverage include Medway?+
Yes. Coverage includes Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham as well as the wider Kent towns listed on this page. Send the postcode and scope to confirm attendance and programme requirements.
Can you quote a programme covering several Kent properties?+
Yes. Provide the address list, quantities and reports for each property. Separate site schedules help us identify repeated work types, access needs and items that require further surveying before they can be priced reliably.
Can work be planned around school use or resident access?+
Yes. Include term-time restrictions, building opening hours and resident liaison requirements in the enquiry. Working windows and any out-of-hours requirements are agreed as part of the scope and 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.
