Building Compliance

Our team and specialist suppliers carried out comprehensive surveys and site visits during the pre-construction phase, verifying FRA reports, provisional sums and work specifications provided by the client.

Brentwood Borough Council

We were employed as Principal Contractor by Brentwood Borough Council to undertake FRA works at 10 blocks of flats.

We developed designs which were approved by the client and building control.

Additionally we employed:

  • Specialist 3rd party fire door manufacturer and installers
  • Specialist 3rd party firestopping subcontractor
  • Electrical design consultant
  • NICEIC qualified electrical subcontractor
  • UKAS accredited-licensed asbestos removal subcontractor

We worked concurrently across the blocks and prioritised completing the works to vulnerable residents’ homes

Safety for residents

“I am so relieved that nobody was hurt or worse. You are a formidable team and I am so proud of how you all reacted and dealt with the horrendous situation. – Cllr Marie Pearson, Brentwood BC, Chair of Environment, Enforcement and Housing Committee Brentwood Borough Council

Client Relationship

Brentwood Borough Council awarded Axis a 10-year full asset management contract covering 2,400 properties across Essex in 2019.

Specifications

  • FD30s and FD60s
  • Front entrance door replacement
  • New communal door sets
  • Firestopping to breaches
  • Automatic opening vents (AOVs)
  • Design service

We had replaced all the dwelling and communal doors in Drake House with FD30 fire doors. FD30 Fire Doors not only help to prevent the spread of fire, but also prevent the spread of cold smoke as the doors are fitted with cold smoke seals in addition to intumescent strips.

It was evident from the communal side of the front door that both the smoke and intumescent seals had done their job as there was no evidence of smoke damage around the perimeter of the door or within the communal area itself.

That was really reassuring for us and for the client. We use fire resisting materials and systems that have been tested to ensure they will perform in the event of a fire, the systems need to be installed with the exact same methods in which they were tested and in this case they all performed exactly how they should have done.

Cllr Marie Pearson, Chair of Environment

Enforcement and Housing Committee, Brentwood Borough Council

The support given to residents was outstanding. The speed of response was impressive, and the control of the situation was calm and considered
