Flat entrance and communal areas
Coordinate home appointments and communal access, keeping no-access doors and follow-on repairs visible.
Resident-focused programmes
Passive fire protection for social housing.
Passive fire work in social housing must protect residents while keeping access, communication and records under control. FireX delivers survey-led passive fire protection programmes for housing associations, local authorities and managing agents, covering occupied homes, communal areas and multi-block estates.
Operational priorities
Planning beyond the technical detail.
Suitable passive fire work depends on the tested solution and on how the building can be accessed, controlled and handed back.
- Resident liaison and access planning
- Door-by-door and location-based reporting
- Regulation 10 fire-door programmes
- Clear no-access, exception and completion records
Building types
Support suited to the environment.
High-rise and higher-risk buildings
Agree work against the building’s fire strategy and relevant dutyholder procedures, with controlled records for each asset.
Sheltered and supported housing
Plan communication and work areas with scheme managers, carers and residents, accounting for individual access needs.
Multi-block housing estates
Use consistent door and location references across blocks so the housing team can track completion and exceptions.
Delivery approach
Controlled from planning to close-out.
Plan access
Agree resident communications, appointment routes, safeguarding needs and escalation before the programme begins.
Control delivery
Coordinate surveys, repairs and replacements around occupied homes, shared routes and other contractors.
Close every asset
Return consistent status, photographic evidence and exceptions against the property or asset reference.
