Subject: Whitford Gardens: fire-stopping responsibility
Hello,
For Whitford Gardens, who is coordinating fire-stopping procurement and the inspection sequence around M&E penetrations?
Flame Solutions provides passive-fire work across London with product and photographic handover records. We would be interested in a defined subcontract if there is a remaining route to qualify. Before pricing, we would check the substrate/service details, inspection hold points and your contractual requirements.
Kind regards,

Cinnamon Care Collection | Contractor appointed | End of 2027 completion

Hampton is in the London area; the retained former police-station facade makes scope boundaries worth establishing, without assuming heritage defects.

What is the latest construction milestone?
Which fire-compartment details cross retained/new construction?
Who is responsible for approving interface details?
Has the relevant passive-fire package been awarded?

Subject: The Langford: passive-fire interfaces and current programme
Hello,
Flame Solutions undertakes fire stopping, compartmentation and fire-door work in London. For The Langford, could you point us to the commercial lead responsible for passive-fire work at the retained and new-build interfaces?

Kind regards,
