ProgrammeSpring 2028Source checked28 Sept 2026Contract availabilityTo be qualified
RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE

Ask Kori’s published inbox to route the enquiry to Jack Stevenson or the current Whitford Gardens passive-fire package buyer. Published routing inbox: works@koriconstruction.com. This contact routes the enquiry; package award authority is not confirmed.

Why this belongs in your brief

Whitford Gardens is a London new build with Kori on site and a named commercial contact. Ralph’s passive-fire scope can be routed without speculating about the door or alarm packages.

TARGET SCOPE

Service penetration sealing and compartmentation interfaces; establish whether builders’ work, M&E penetrations and final closure are one package or split.

RELEVANT CAPABILITY

Ralph’s sealing and partition capabilities support a discussion about responsibility across adjoining trades, rather than a generic fire-safety quote.

Timing and buying window

Spring 2028 target supports early package qualification. Confirm the actual programme and award status before estimating.

Subject: Whitford Gardens — passive-fire package contact

Hello Kori team,

We are Ralph Fire Protection, working on fire stopping, boarding and partitions across London. Could you route this to the commercial lead for Whitford Gardens in Mitcham?

We would like to establish who owns the service-penetration sealing and compartmentation scope, and whether that package has already been appointed. If there is a suitable route to qualify, we can send relevant project information against your specification and programme.

Kind regards,
Ralph Fire Protection Ltd

Manor Road care home · Redbridge

Hallmark Luxury Care Homes | Construction | Late 2028

Target scope

Fire-stopping and fire-rated partition/shaft-wall work where included in the buyer’s design; split off any scope retained by drylining or M&E subcontractors.

The 110-bedroom Manor Road development gives Ralph a larger London scheme to screen. The scale is a reason to check resources and package boundaries, not a proxy for order value.

First move

Request the Manor Road project quantity surveyor via Kori. Ask for the package list and supplier prequalification route before a technical quotation. Published routing inbox: works@koriconstruction.com. This contact routes the enquiry; package award authority is not confirmed.

Qualification questions

  • Is passive fire being let centrally or within individual drylining and M&E packages?
  • Are shaft walls or fire-rated partitions included, and who retains design responsibility?
  • What prequalification and labour capacity will be required for the phased programme?

Hello Kori team,

Ralph Fire Protection provides fire stopping, boarding and fire-rated partition work in London. We are interested in understanding the procurement route for the Hallmark care-home development on Manor Road.

Are the penetration-sealing and partition scopes being bought separately, or through other trades? Please direct us to the relevant commercial lead and let us know whether supplier qualification is open for that scope.

Kind regards,

The Langford · Hampton

Cinnamon Care Collection | Contractor appointed | End of 2027 completion

Target scope

Only the passive-fire work identified by the project’s fire and compartmentation design, including any specified interfaces between retained fabric and new construction.

The Langford’s retained police-station facade makes the boundaries between retained and new fabric a useful design question for Ralph. No condition problem or current opening in the package is established.

First move

Ask Kori’s Langford commercial team for the current stage and passive-fire award status, then request the relevant design details if a scope remains. Published routing inbox: works@koriconstruction.com. This contact routes the enquiry; package award authority is not confirmed.

Qualification questions

  • What is the current stage and has the passive-fire subcontract been placed?
  • Which interfaces involving retained fabric are in the fire-stopping package?
  • Who approves the proposed details and records departures from the original design?

Subject: The Langford — passive-fire scope and current programme

Hello Kori team,

We saw the plans for The Langford in Hampton, including the retained former police-station facade. Ralph Fire Protection handles fire stopping, boarding and partitions in London.

Could the project commercial lead confirm the current programme and whether the passive-fire package is already placed? If a suitable scope remains, we would like to review the specified interfaces between the retained and new work before providing capability information.

Kind regards,
