Market leadership As the UK’s leading Passive Fire Protection specialist with a long history since 1989 and a broad one-stop solution set, Checkmate Fire presents a compelling value proposition for public and private sector buyers seeking compliant, turnkey fire protection services across occupied buildings.

Expansion potential Recent award wins and a new CEO signal growth and strategic momentum, suggesting opportunities to upsell larger maintenance contracts, multi-site rollouts, and longer fixed-term agreements to existing clients in universities, student accommodation, healthcare, and social housing.

Compliance+ advantage Compliance+ combines third party accredited inspections with ongoing maintenance for fixed terms, creating a predictable revenue stream and a strong differentiator for facilities teams seeking simplified, auditable passive fire protection programs.

Active sector focus Strong sector expertise in universities, student accommodation, healthcare, and social housing indicates target-rich markets with ongoing refurbishment and safety compliance needs, offering cross-sell opportunities to expand from inspections into remediation, installation and maintenance.

Awards and safety credibility Gold RoSPA award and ASFP Small Scale Installation Project wins enhance credibility with procurement and compliance officers, supporting higher close rates for mid-market projects and fostering trusted partnerships for recurring services.
