Hotel & leisure case study
Ongoing passive fire maintenance at The Lanesborough Hotel
FireX has worked directly with The Lanesborough Hotel since 2023, delivering an ongoing £100,000+ programme of annual fire damper servicing, service penetration sealing, fire door installation and maintenance while the five-star London hotel remains in operation.
Project requirement
The challenge.
The Lanesborough requires continuing passive fire maintenance in response to fire risk assessment findings, survey defects and general refurbishment requirements. The hotel remains in operation, so the work must fit around its day-to-day use. In a five-star hotel, typical planning considerations include guest comfort and privacy, access to occupied areas, noise and dust control, protection of finishes, and keeping guest and staff routes usable.
Delivery control
How the work was managed.
FireX works directly for the hotel, combining annual fire damper servicing with penetration sealing, fire door installation and maintenance as requirements arise. This ongoing arrangement brings recurring maintenance and individual remedial scopes together. Work in an operating hotel needs coordination around agreed access, hotel activities and any refurbishment interfaces, with attention to housekeeping and the protection of surrounding finishes.
