Protecting People & Property

Fire safety is paramount. We offer a full spectrum of services to ensure your building is compliant, safe, and resilient.

Passive Fire Protection

Passive fire protection is the backbone of any fire safety strategy. It involves the use of comprehensive building components to limit the spread of fire and smoke.

Often overlooked until it's too late, ensuring your building's fabric is up to scratch is a legal requirement offering vital protection to occupants.

Fire Doors are a critical element in compartmentation. They must be installed and maintained correctly to provide the necessary resistance to fire and smoke. Regular inspections are essential.
Fire stopping seals openings and penetrations in fire-resistant walls and floors (e.g., for pipes or cables) to prevent the passage of fire and smoke.

Active Fire Protection

Active fire protection systems require some action or motion to work efficiently in the event of a fire. These systems are designed to detect fire or smoke and then alert occupants or suppress the fire.

Early detection is key. Our advanced fire alarm systems ensure rapid response and evacuation, protecting lives and minimizing damage.
Installed primarily in commercial buildings, a PAVA system (Public Address & Voice Alarm) announces emergency situations through an audio setup.

Remedials

Adequate fire safety solutions are not often a key priority for new construction or renovation work. Primarily a lack of knowledge leads to premises needing remedial works to get up to standard.

If your building is in this situation, Oracle can help get you back on track with our detailed audit.

Building cladding has come under heavy scrutiny. High-rise buildings need to be compliant. At Oracle we can strip your building with ease, fixing in place robust cladding that tests to BS8414.

Maintenance

One of the core pillars of FM, our maintenance division is on hand to deal with your specific fire prevention requirements. Whether it's checking your fire doors, inspecting your PAVA system, or testing your emergency lighting, Oracle has it covered.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 highlights that organisations have a legal duty to ensure fire safety. Our detailed Fire Risk Assessments investigate your premises, providing clarity on safety hazards.
Nearly everything within a building requires maintenance. Fire Doors should be inspected every 6 months. Fire alarms should be checked every half year or quarterly.

Fire prevention FAQs

Oracle FM delivers passive fire protection (fire doors, fire stopping, compartmentation), active systems (alarms, PAVA, emergency lighting), remedials, and ongoing fire safety maintenance, from survey through to certificate, with delivery designed for occupied buildings.
Fire doors should typically be inspected at least every six months as part of a planned maintenance programme, with remedial works completed promptly where defects are found. Frequency can increase for higher-risk or high-traffic buildings. A fire risk assessment and survey programme clarifies the right schedule for your estate.
Survey-to-certificate means one team inspects, plans remedials, completes the works, and issues certification without handoffs between separate contractors. That keeps audit trails clear for regulators and insurers and reduces downtime for occupied sites.
Yes. Our fire risk assessments review premises against UK fire safety duties, identify hazards, and produce a clear action schedule so you know what must be remediated and in what order.
