Our Detailed Healthchecks
The Healthcheck is an extended survey of your building(s) to assess the overall fire health. We always recommend carrying out this survey at the beginning of a partnership with Ventro. Also, they should be carried out every 5 years. We do this to make sure you keep up to date with the ever-changing regulations.
Remedial and Installation Planned Programme of Works
The Installation is an end-to-end project management service from Ventro. This means you won’t have to deal with or manage installation providers and subcontractors. You’ll just work with your dedicated contacts who are part of the Ventro team.
It’s the complete turn-key solution for fire safety installation in your building(s), including everything from on-site installation to resident liaison.
Ongoing Regulatory Routine Maintenance Contracts
The Maintenance step is vital to ensure your newly-compliant installation and fire-safe building stays that way in the future. We want to make fire safety simple. To do that, we need you to feel assured that fire compliance and safety are taken care of.
Besides the safety benefits, staying compliant means you’re working effectively without having to revisit fire safety and have better control of spend.
We work all over the UK and help people make their buildings fire safe and compliant. The sectors we cover best are:
- Housing
- Universities & Education

Fire Doors
Fire Doors
More than just a door, they’re an engineered life-saving device. With expert planning, we install them tactically and efficiently to avoid needless overspending. Different styles and designs mean you don’t need to compromise on aesthetics or security when making your building fire safe.
- Full audit of compartmentalisation and escape strategies
- Fire doors repaired or installed to suit what your building requires
- Advice and services available to get you back to compliance
Fire Compartmentation
Fire Compartmentation
Fire Compartmentation is the strategy required to prevent the spread of fire by subdividing buildings into several compartments. Where your strategy includes ‘stay-put’ policies, it’s even more important to ensure the integrity of fire compartments is correct.
- Experts will assess your building and manage the installation process of required barriers and alarms
- Incident management training provided
- Compartmentalising can be completed without vacating the building
Fire Rated Cladding
Fire Rated Cladding
Invasive Surveys, Design and Installation of A1 Fire Rated Cladding Systems ensure fire cannot spread to the external elevations of the building. This gives you and your occupants peace of mind.
- Identify at-risk external cladding
- Advise the solution to make your building safe
- Carry out the works and solve the problem
Fire Dampers
Fire Dampers
Fire Dampers are a vital part of an effective compartmentation strategy. They stop fire and smoke from spreading through ventilation systems, so are a crucial part in your smoke control strategy. A simple looking apparatus that can actually save lives.
- Important part of your compartmentalisation strategy to isolate fires
- Interfaces with alarm and other systems
- Stops the spread of smoke and heat around the ductwork
Smoke Ventilation
Smoke Ventilation
Keeping your escape routes free from smoke is vital. It helps people escape safely and the fire brigade enter smoothly. Effective installation relies on having a robust fire safety strategy in place.
- Accredited installation by Ventro
- Complements and works with other fire safety components
- Automatically triggered
Fire Alarms
Fire Alarms
Without the alarm, the best-planned escape strategy will be ineffective. Even if compliant when installed, standards change which means changes are needed to existing systems.
- Upgrading existing Fire Alarm systems in occupied buildings and ongoing maintenance above BAFE minimum requirement
- Bespoke configurations available for those with special requirements like medical and sensitive settings
- Providing additional training for Building Safety Managers and other building users
Emergency Lighting
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting systems are critical for safe exit from your building in a fire situation. Building owners must ensure correct lux levels and signage are on each escape route. Also, this must be guaranteed for 72 hours in the event of power failure.
- BS 5266 compliant lighting installation and upgrades to existing lighting
- Free site visits, specification and design
- Reduce on-going costs and reduction in energy consumption with the latest technologies
Fire Extinguishers
Fire Extinguishers
Often a service catered for by individual providers, but this can result in ineffective deployment and training. Combine these life-saving assets with your wider fire safety plan in your building for the most effective coverage. Maintenance services are also necessary and available from Ventro.
- Certified training available
- Options available on extinguisher and stand designs
- Ongoing servicing and inspection available
Sprinklers
Sprinklers
Sprinklers tackle the fire at the source. This helps slow the spread and give your occupants invaluable time to escape. Various types are available, depending on your fire safety strategy, including standard, missing suppression and deluge systems.
- One of the few detect and extinguish options
- Can quell fires to allow safe escape
- Installation compliant with LPS 1301 & LPS 1048
Dry and Wet Risers
Dry and Wet Risers
Necessary in buildings over 18 metres, these systems allow the fire brigade to access water right through the entirety of the building, no matter how high the fire reaches. They’re a vital part of an effective fire fighting system in your building and require annual inspection and maintenance.
- Designed to be part of your wider fire safety plan
- Can be installed into occupied buildings with minimal disruption
- Ongoing servicing and inspection available
