Start here · Construction
Catherine Grove
Boutique Care Homes · Deal, Kent
Programme: Late 2027 Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
A defined doorset, penetration-sealing or compartmentation subcontract; establish whether these sit in one or several packages.
Why it fits
Deal falls within Flame’s Kent coverage and Apex provides a practical principal-contractor route.
Recommended first move
Use Apex’s published routing contact, steph.harris@apexcontractors.co.uk, to request Catherine Grove’s commercial lead for passive-fire packages. Establish package boundaries and tender terms before sending a price; Boutique’s development team is a fallback introduction route.
Timing
Late-2027 target; award status and installation sequence remain unknown.
Qualification questions
Who buys doorsets and who buys penetration sealing?
Which substrates and services are included in the package?
What inspection/photo record format is required?
Which contracting-entity certification and warranty terms are mandatory?
Prepare before contact
Prepare the precise certification/contracting-entity explanation.
Request a location schedule and relevant tested details before estimating.
Reasons to stop
Tender warranty requirements conflict with published terms.
Certification or scope requirements cannot be evidenced by the contracting entity.

Subject: Catherine Grove: passive-fire package scope
Hello,
Flame Solutions undertakes fire-door, fire-stopping and compartmentation work in Kent, either directly or as a subcontractor. Could you direct us to Apex’s commercial contact for Catherine Grove’s passive-fire packages?
We would like to establish the package boundaries, programme and required handover records before submitting information. We can also clarify our contracting-entity credentials and terms at prequalification, so you can assess the fit before requesting a quotation.
Kind regards,

Next useful trigger
A defined passive-fire package and accepted prequalification basis.
Service-penetration and linear-gap sealing, with doorsets separately quantified if requested.
Why it fits
Mitcham is in Flame’s London area and Kori names a project commercial contact.
Recommended first move
Ask Kori’s Whitford Gardens commercial team which contractor is responsible for making good fire compartments after M&E installation. Published routing inbox: works@koriconstruction.com. This contact routes the enquiry; package award authority is not confirmed.
Timing
Spring-2028 opening target; seek the services-installation and fire-stopping sequence, not an assumed immediate start.
Qualification questions
Is penetration sealing retained by Kori or included with M&E?
Who approves tested details for the actual substrate/service combinations?
Are inspections required before ceilings and risers close?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a sample photographic record and location coding approach.
Check access, inspection hold points and responsibility for later penetrations.
Reasons to stop
The work is fully included in an appointed subcontract with no supply route.
Required warranties or certification identity cannot be met.

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 · Hampton, Greater London
Programme: End of 2027 completion Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Specified passive-fire interfaces between retained and new construction, plus any separately procured doorset package.
Why it fits
Hampton is in the London area; the retained former police-station facade makes scope boundaries worth establishing, without assuming heritage defects.
Recommended first move
Ask Kori’s project commercial lead for the current programme and whether retained/new-build interface work is separately packaged. Published routing inbox: works@koriconstruction.com. This contact routes the enquiry; package award authority is not confirmed.
Timing
End-2027 target remains published; the latest physical milestone needs confirmation before planning labour.
Qualification questions
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?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a drawing-review request covering only the identified interfaces.
Confirm acceptable warranty and certification terms before attending a tender survey.
Reasons to stop
No package remains or the designer has not defined the proposed scope.
Required installation terms are outside Flame’s stated offer.

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?
We would first like to confirm the current programme and whether any relevant package remains before award. A drawings-based scope and your evidence/contract requirements would let us judge whether a submission would be useful.
Kind regards,

Next useful trigger
Confirmed site stage and approved details for a package still being procured.
Only an authorised, itemised passive-fire handover action or a later owner-led door-maintenance scope.
Why it fits
Copthorne lies in Flame’s Sussex territory, but a show suite and winter reopening point to late-stage work.
Recommended first move
Ask Care UK’s professional/business route whether there is a defined requirement outside the principal contractor’s obligations.
Timing
Winter-2026 reopening; fresh main-package work is a weak assumption.
Qualification questions
Is any specific passive-fire action list available for separate procurement?
Does the item remain within Carter Lauren’s or an installer’s contractual responsibility?
Who can approve work without affecting existing warranty arrangements?
Prepare before contact
Require a written action list, location references and responsibility split.
Check terms and access restrictions before pricing an occupied or near-opening site.
Reasons to stop
The only work identified is an incumbent’s snagging obligation.
No documented scope or authorised buyer exists.
Published buyer routes
Care UK
Business enquiries; request estates and maintenance procurement Confirm the operator specification, handover responsibilities and future servicing buyer.

Subject: Francis Court: route for any separately scoped passive-fire work
Hello,
Flame Solutions provides fire-door and passive-fire work in Sussex. With Francis Court approaching its published winter reopening, could you advise who handles any separately instructed passive-fire maintenance or action-list works?
We are not assuming there is an outstanding requirement. If one is identified outside the construction team’s existing obligations, we can review a defined scope and evidence requirements before offering a quotation.
Kind regards,
