Your Section 20 pack. Your insurance-renewal file. Your s.156 defence. All from one inspection programme.
Unity Fire is the South Coast's director-led passive-fire compliance specialist. Managing agents running 20 to 200 buildings use us because every inspection becomes a leaseholder-defensible, insurer-ready, Regulator-proof record — before the phone rings.
You are not looking for six separate contractors. You want one specialist who inspects, remediates and signs off the record — so the audit trail is continuous and the responsibility is clear. That is what Unity Fire is built to deliver.
Annual fire door inspectionsPhotographic evidence per door, defect classification, remedial recommendation — in the format your insurer and your Fire Risk Assessor both accept.
Quarterly inspection programmesMatches service-charge billing. Keeps your s.156 file live. Easier for leaseholders to approve because the cost sits inside the routine year.
Compartmentation surveysFull-building assessment of compartment integrity — penetrations, service risers, ceiling voids. Written report with photographic evidence, suitable for inclusion in the safety case.
Fire stopping & remedial worksFrom single-leaseholder repairs under the Section 20 threshold to major remediation programmes. Tested systems, documented close-out, completion certificates issued.
FRA close-out supportDave is FRA-qualified. No third-party bottleneck when the Fire Risk Assessor returns and the remedials need sign-off.
Insurance-renewal packsOne file. One click. One email to your broker — with the three documents they always ask for.
Why Directors Buy From Directors
The person accountable for the work is the person doing it.
No subcontracted surveys. No junior staff unsupervised on site. Owen Gillard runs every inspection. Dave Gillard manages every contract. Same two names, every job.
That matters for a reason. Under Section 161 of the Building Safety Act 2022, company directors can be personally prosecuted where an offence is committed with their "consent, connivance or neglect" — two years' imprisonment, unlimited fines. If you are evaluating vendors, you want the people accountable for the work to be the people doing the work. With Unity Fire, they are.
And you will know who to call. One mobile. Two emails. No account manager, no ticket system, no queue.
Built For How Block Management Actually Works
We speak your procurement language because we live in it.
Section 20 readyWe quote in the format leaseholders and RMCs expect, with breakdowns that survive the 30-day consultation window. Leaseholder-nominated contractor comparisons handled properly.
Insurance-renewal readyEvery job outputs an in-date FRA reference, remedial-action close-out log, and fire-door inspection record — the three documents your broker asks for at renewal.
PEEPs-readyThe Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025 take effect 6 April 2026. Person-centred FRAs, written PEEPs, communal evacuation planning — built into every inspection programme.
Quarterly cadence availableMonthly isn't what you need. Annual isn't what the Regulator is happy with. Quarterly matches service-charge billing and keeps your defence file current.
South Coast responsivenessBased St Leonards, Ringwood, Dorset. 5-day site attendance, guaranteed — not "we'll get back to you when a team is free." If we can't make the window, we say so on the first call.
What You Get In The Pack
The deliverable — not the sales pitch.
Every Unity Fire job outputs a signed compliance pack containing:
Photographic evidencePer fire door, per compartment, per defect — time-stamped, geo-referenced where relevant.
Written reportDefect classification, risk level, remediation recommendation — in structured, survivable format.
Structured report formatEvery inspection is delivered as a structured passive-fire compliance report — indexed by door and by compartment, so it can be handed to an insurer, a fire officer or an incoming managing agent without translation.
Certification on close-outCompletion certificate issued for every remedial action — referenced back to the original defect photograph and recommendation.
FRA alignment noteWhere works relate to an existing fire risk assessment, the deliverable ties back into the FRA action list — closing the loop your Fire Risk Assessor expects to see closed.
