Our services
Fire safety support for your premises
You might have a report full of actions, a building project that’s about to move forward, or several sites where nobody has a clear picture of what’s overdue. We help you work out what needs attention, what you can keep and what to ask your contractors to do. Here’s where each service can help.
Fire Risk Assessments
If an assessment is due, a property is changing hands or an existing report leaves you with a list of issues, we can assess the premises and set out what needs attention first.
DSEAR Risk Assessments
Where you use fuels, gases, solvents or combustible dusts, we identify where fire or explosion risks arise and help you work out how to control them.
Fire Strategy Plans and Reports
If you’re converting, extending or refurbishing premises, we help set out how escape, fire separation and protection systems fit together so your project team can work from the same plan.
Fire Safety Consultancy
If an inspection or notice has raised concerns, we can review the findings, explain the options and help you decide what work and evidence are needed.
Fire Safety Design and Design Reviews
We can review plans, advise on design decisions at the relevant RIBA stage and flag fire safety issues before the design is fixed.
