Our services
Find the right support for your premises
Start with what has changed or what you need to achieve. If several issues are linked, we can help you decide which to tackle together.
Assess and inspect
Taking on a property or unsure what an existing report means? We identify what needs attention and explain which findings to act on first.
Plan and design
Converting a building or preparing for the next design stage? We help your team resolve escape, fire separation and system design questions before they delay the project.
Manage and maintain
Struggling to keep actions, records and servicing on track? We help you establish what’s due and give your team a practical way to manage it.
Portfolio support
Managing fire safety across several sites?
When records sit with different site managers and contractors, it can be hard to see which buildings need attention first. We can review the assessments, inspection reports and open actions you already have, then agree what needs checking or visiting at each site.
- Identify which actions are overdue and what needs attention first at each property.
- Agree who owns each action and what records will show it has been completed.
- Set a consistent review and reporting process while allowing for the risks at each building.
Inspections and enforcement
Who inspects premises in East Sussex?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service carries out fire safety inspections for many premises across East Sussex. The enforcing authority can depend on the type and location of the premises.

Frequently asked questions about fire safety in East Sussex
Can you assess several sites together?
Yes. Send us the site addresses and tell us what each building is used for. We can plan the visits around your priorities and help you keep track of actions across the portfolio.
Can you work with our existing assessors and contractors?
Yes. Share the reports, specifications or quotations you already have. We can review what they cover, explain where evidence is missing and help you brief the people carrying out the work.
I have an assessment. Can you help me put the findings into practice?
Yes. We can review the action plan with you, clarify what each recommendation means and help you decide what to do first. If further inspection or specialist work is needed, we can explain what to ask for.
What if my town in East Sussex isn’t listed?
Send us your postcode and a short description of the premises. We’ll confirm whether we cover your location and discuss the right support for the building.
What should I send when asking for a quote?
Start with the address, what the building is used for and what prompted the enquiry. If you have drawings, an existing report or a letter from the fire service, mention it so we can scope the work accurately.
