FIRAS is UKAS-accredited: the independently verified standard that building control and insurers rely on. West Midlands Fire Service enforces the Fire Safety Order across the city, and FIRAS documentation is exactly what an inspector expects to see on request.
At Blue Chip PFP, individual surveyors hold FIRAS certification, not just the business. That matters when something goes wrong, and you need to show who did the work and to what standard.
Every job ends with a certificate of compliance, ready for your building records, your insurer, or an audit.
We also hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Constructionline Gold, SSIP, SafeContractor, ASFP, IFE and Build UK accreditation. See our full list of accreditations.
“We recently worked with Bluechip at Colmore Square in Birmingham, and Bluechip’s support made a significant difference to our project. With tight deadlines and considerable pressure on the fire-stopping and acoustic works, Bluechip stepped in and quickly turned the situation around. Bluechip provided the labour and resources we needed and responded exceptionally well to the fast-paced demands of the job.” – DCD Plastering
We work across social housing, commercial new-build, healthcare, education and HRB residential sites throughout Birmingham. For main contractors, our Constructionline Gold status cuts procurement vetting time before work even starts.

Who enforces fire safety regulations in Birmingham?
West Midlands Fire Service enforces the Fire Safety Order across the city. Every Blue Chip PFP installation is FIRAS-certified and fully documented, ready for inspection or review by a fire risk assessor.
Can you carry out passive fire protection works in occupied Birmingham residential blocks?
Yes; works planned around resident access, advance notice, out-of-hours working where required, photographed finishes
What is FIRAS accreditation and why does it matter for a Birmingham project?
FIRAS is a UKAS-accredited certification held by individual surveyors, not just the company they work for. That means the person on your site is verified, not just the business behind them.
Do you cover areas outside Birmingham city centre, such as Sutton Coldfield or West Bromwich?
Yes. We work from Fort Dunlop across the wider West Midlands, including Sutton Coldfield and West Bromwich.
What documentation do I receive when the work is complete?
A certificate of compliance for every job, plus a full photographic record. It's audit-ready for building control, insurers and fire risk assessors, the golden thread most competitors don't provide.
From Fort Dunlop, just off the M6, we cover the whole of Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands.
