Survey-led remediation
Use the compartmentation information and identified defects to define locations, access requirements and priorities. Where the actual construction differs from the assumed detail, agree the next step before proceeding.

TECHNICAL UNDERSTANDING. PRACTICAL DELIVERY.
Passive fire protection with clear installation records.
Firestopping helps maintain the intended separation between compartments where services and construction interfaces interrupt walls and floors. Conex installs tested fire-resistant materials to service penetrations, joints, voids and gaps, with a focus on selecting the appropriate detail for the actual construction.
Service openings and junctions vary from one location to another. The wall or floor construction, service type, opening dimensions and required performance all affect the detail to be used. A productive firestopping package begins with these conditions being understood, not simply with a product being selected.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
A defined package.
A coordinated approach.
The final scope is agreed against your specification, existing conditions and programme.
Service penetrations
Coordinate the treatment of pipes, cables and other service openings with the specified system detail. The installation needs to account for the substrate, the service configuration and the dimensions of the opening.
Joints and interfaces
Review linear gaps and construction junctions as part of the wider compartmentation package. Access and sequencing should allow the completed treatment to be inspected before it is concealed.
Department capabilities
- Sealing service penetrations through compartment walls and floors
- Fire-resistant linear joint and gap treatments
- Remediation of identified compartmentation defects
- Coordination with service installers and other trades
- Inspection evidence and material traceability
QUALITY & COORDINATION
Attention to the details
that matter.
The substrate, opening, services and required performance are reviewed against the specified system before work proceeds. Our quality process records the installation and the materials used, helping the client retain a clear account of the completed works.
Working with other trades
Firestopping is coordinated with mechanical and electrical services, drylining, structural openings and access panels. Later service changes can affect completed treatments, so responsibilities for subsequent alterations should be clear.
PROJECT CHECKPOINTS
- Location reference and the relevant compartment line
- Actual wall or floor construction and opening dimensions
- Specified system detail for the service configuration
- Material identification and installation sequence
- Inspection access before concealment
- Records and the status of each recorded location
INFORMATION AT HANDOVER
Conex uses Onetrace to record fire-door survey and firestopping information, including materials, inspection evidence and approvals. This supports a transparent quality process and helps retain the relationship between the work and its records.
Useful records.
Clear responsibilities.
Our existing firestopping service includes inspection evidence, material traceability and reporting. The format and level of detail should be agreed with the client at the outset, so the completed records support both handover and future building management.
PREPARING YOUR PROJECT BRIEF
A better brief.
A more useful proposal.
Share the information you have, including your site location and target dates. We can discuss the proposed works and identify the details needed to establish a clear package.
- Compartmentation drawings and fire strategy
- Survey findings and identified defects
- Service types, openings and substrate details
- Specified systems and required records
COMMON QUESTIONS
Planning your works.
Can you remediate defects found by another surveyor?
Share the survey and compartmentation drawings. We can discuss the identified scope, review access and clarify the information needed for the proposed systems.
Does one product cover every opening?
The appropriate treatment depends on the construction and service configuration. Product selection must follow the relevant specified detail and supporting information.
What records can be included?
Location references and material information form part of the service. Any additional reporting or client platform requirements should be agreed before works begin.
