Open and investigate
Confirm the cavity, supporting construction, dimensions, fixing zones and obstructions.
Concealed protection verified
Fire & Cavity Barriers
Hidden cavities and voids can allow smoke and fire to bypass visible compartment lines. We inspect the actual construction, confirm a suitable tested system and record the completed barrier before it is concealed.
Scope
Practical support for planned and reactive requirements.
Our scope is confirmed against the property, available evidence and client requirements before work starts.
- Cavity barrier inspection and remedials
- FIREFLY® flexible fire-barrier systems
- Roof, ceiling and service-void interfaces
- Photographic evidence before concealment
Connected building elements
Continuity depends on supports, junctions and penetrations.
A barrier’s edges and connections matter as much as its visible face. Supports, joints, overlaps, obstructions and service interfaces must suit the selected system and actual construction. We coordinate inspection before closure so these details can be recorded while accessible.
- Review the supporting construction and fixing zones
- Check junctions and service interfaces against the system evidence
- Agree inspection and photographic records before concealment
Delivery process
Controlled from first check to handover.
Match the system
Select a compatible tested barrier arrangement and resolve interfaces before installation.
Inspect before closure
Record supports, overlaps, joints, penetrations and labels while the work remains visible.
Handover
Evidence supplied with the completed works.
Records are adjusted to suit the contract and reporting platform, while retaining the information needed to understand and verify the installation.
- Location and system schedule
- Installation-stage photographs
- Product and test references
- Inspection record
- Completion records

Frequently asked questions
Planning the right next step.
Can FireX quote fire & cavity barriers from an existing report?+
Yes. Send the survey, FRA action or specification with the property location and approximate quantities. We will identify information gaps before confirming the scope.
What evidence is provided at handover?+
Records are agreed for the contract and may include asset or location references, photographs, product information, tested-detail references and completion status. Scheme certification is included only where the particular work and supporting evidence qualify within the applicable certified scope.
Do you work in occupied buildings?+
Yes. FireX plans access, communication, segregation, housekeeping and progress reporting around residents, staff and other building users.
