Protecting People, Protecting Buildings
Buildings Complete fire safety services across every sector
Since the Building Safety Act and new fire safety regulations came in, responsibility for fire safety has never been clearer, and the consequences of getting it wrong have never been greater. Building owners and landlords must be able to show that compartmentation is intact, fire doors work as they should and life safety systems are reliable. Seddon helps clients meet those duties with confidence. From surveys and remediation to installation, inspection and maintenance, we deliver fire safety works that are carried out by competent, qualified operatives and backed by full documentation. Our teams work safely in occupied buildings, keeping residents, pupils, patients and staff protected throughout.
Fire Stopping & Compartmentation
Compartmentation stops fire and smoke spreading through a building, but it’s easily compromised every time cables, pipes or ducts pass through walls and floors. Seddon surveys, installs and remediates fire stopping using tested, certified products and systems. We seal service penetrations, cavity barriers, linear joints and fire-rated boarding to restore the building’s original fire strategy. Every installation is photographed, labelled and recorded, giving you a clear audit trail and evidence for your fire risk assessment
Fire Doors
Fire doors are among the most important life-safety features in any building, and among the most frequently damaged. Seddon supplies, installs, inspects, repairs and maintains certified fire door sets, covering flat entrance doors, communal doors, plant rooms and service risers. Our inspections check gaps, seals, hinges, closers, signage and glazing, and any defects are repaired or replaced quickly. For residential buildings, we support the fire door inspection duties set out in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
Emergency Lighting & Fire Alarms
When an emergency happens, people need to see their way out and be warned in time. Seddon installs, tests and maintains emergency lighting and fire detection and alarm systems, from new installations and upgrades to routine testing and certification. We work in line with the relevant British Standards for emergency lighting and fire detection and alarm systems, and provide full certification and log books, so systems are ready when they’re needed most.
Surveys, Remediation & Ongoing Maintenance
Compliance isn’t a one-off. We carry out fire stopping and fire door surveys, prioritise defects by risk and deliver remediation programmes across single sites or whole estates. We then keep buildings compliant with planned inspection and maintenance schedules. Clear reports, photographic evidence and digital records support your fire risk assessments and, for higher-risk buildings, your golden thread of building safety information.
Housing
For housing associations, local authorities and residential landlords, fire safety is about protecting people where they live. We deliver fire door replacement programmes, compartmentation surveys and remediation in residential blocks, and communal emergency lighting upgrades, all with a resident-first approach. We give clear notice and keep appointments, and our respectful, vetted operatives keep disruption to a minimum. We help you meet your duties under the Fire Safety Order, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and, for higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Act.
Non-housing
Schools, hospitals, care homes, emergency service stations, offices and civic buildings all depend on effective fire safety, often in buildings that can never fully close. Seddon delivers fire stopping, fire door and life safety systems works in live environments. We phase them around operations and coordinate with estates, facilities and clinical teams. Whether it’s a single site or a multi-building estate, we give you compliant, certified work and the evidence your responsible person needs.
