Find fire safety services in Buckinghamshire

Our coverage includes High Wycombe, Marlow, Beaconsfield and Amersham. In a workshop or business unit, a new process or extra stock can change how you store materials and keep exits clear.

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.

Who inspects premises in Buckinghamshire?

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service carries out fire safety inspections for many premises across Buckinghamshire. The enforcing authority can depend on the type and location of the premises.
