How We Help

We provide fire risk management consultancy and assessments, supporting projects from concept to completion while ensuring safety and compliance.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

  • Fire Risk Assessments (FRA): Comprehensive FRAs for all building types, from simple premises to complex commercial and residential properties, including high-rise residential and fire-engineered buildings.

  • Design reviews: Identify hazards early in design and check compliance with Building Regulations Part B.

  • Fire engineering assessments: Performance-based solutions for complex or non-standard designs.

  • Fire strategies (new and retrospective): Bespoke strategies covering compartmentation, means of escape, fire protection measures and management arrangements. Aligned to Approved Document B and, where appropriate, BS 9999 or BS 9991, or a fire-engineered route to demonstrate compliance.

  • Fire safety audits and reports: Detailed assessments with clear, prioritised recommendations and actionable improvements.

  • Means of escape reviews: Assess and optimise evacuation routes, travel distances and protection to escape corridors.

  • Fire safety management plans: Practical plans that define responsibilities, procedures, training, maintenance and record-keeping.

  • Systems and hazard reviews: Verify that sprinklers, smoke control, detection and other protection systems remain suitable and sufficient.

  • Technical query resolution: Pragmatic solutions for non-compliant construction, legacy issues or complex regulatory questions.

  • Heritage building consultancy: Balance life safety with conservation requirements for listed and heritage assets.
