Fire Safety Services

Fire safety sits at the centre of our work.

We deliver fire risk assessments, compartmentation inspections and specialist fire safety support in complex, occupied buildings. Our work supports property managers, dutyholders and operational teams managing risk where disruption is not an option.

Services include fire risk assessment, inspection of passive fire protection, compartmentation inspection, asset registers and advisory support linked to fire safety strategy and compliance.

The emphasis is on solutions that can be justified, maintained and relied upon over time. In practice, this often involves judgement calls made with incomplete information, which is where experience matters.

Whatever your needs are, we’re here to provide efficient and flexible solutions during the design stages while ensuring compliance with Building Regulations (Approved Document ‘B’).

Our support includes:

• Fire Engineering Objectives
• Development of a robust Fire Strategy
• Review of fire system designs, including suppression systems, fire alarms and emergency lighting

Fire engineers play a key role in your project’s fire safety strategy. Our job is to guide the design team, from helping architects with fire safety issues to advising engineers on the necessary systems (such as smoke ventilation, sprinklers, and emergency lighting).

We also work with structural engineers to ensure the fire protection your building needs is understood and properly implemented.

After a Fire Risk Assessment, a more detailed inspection of fire-rated walls, floors and doors is often necessary.

Our inspectors have a wealth of experience, and we take the time to thoroughly check that everything meets the necessary industry standards, including Building Regulations, Manufacturer’s Installation Specifications and Fire Test Evidence.

After Passive Fire Protection (PFP) or other fire stopping products are installed, we inspect their application and provide an acceptance report once everything’s up and running. We can also inspect any ongoing or completed work for compliance and carry out both visual and destructive tests to make sure everything meets the required standards.

Our inspection team covers a wide range of systems, including:

• Penetration Sealing and Fire Stopping
• Cavity Barriers
• Fire Rated Partitions and Ceiling Systems
• Fire Rated Ducting & Fire Dampers
• Structural Fire Protection Boards / Intumescent Coatings / Wet Spray
• Fire Rated Glazing and Screens
• Timber, Steel & Composite Fire Rated Doors

We always provide you with a detailed report on our findings, including images of any issues and practical remediation steps. If needed, we can even help you create a cost plan to manage your budget.

We’ll work closely with you to assess your business’s major fire risks, ensuring we take the complexity out of today’s fire safety regulations. Our experienced Fire Risk Assessors have worked across all kinds of properties, from warehouses to retail spaces, and we know what to look for.

The Fire Risk Assessment we conduct focuses on identifying risks to life from fire (while property risks are not assessed directly, they will improve based on our recommendations). The final report will highlight key findings and provide clear, actionable steps to address the issues.

We take a non-destructive approach, surveying the common areas and safety features in place, such as:

• Fire hazards and how to control them (e.g., electrical risks, smoking, arson, heating, housekeeping, etc.)
• Fire protection measures (e.g., escape routes, fire spread control, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, fire signage)
• Fire safety management (e.g., safety procedures, staff training, testing and maintenance of fire systems)

We offer our services across the UK, ensuring nationwide coverage to meet your needs.

Landlords and property management companies often have full records of active fire safety systems, such as alarms and fire extinguishers. However, records of passive fire protection measures may not always be available.

In addition to providing deficiency reports, we offer a full asset register for built-in passive fire protection measures (where feasible). This includes:

• Fire stopping
• Fire doors
• Structural fire protection
• Cavity barriers

We also offer training for those responsible for repairing fire-stopping and fire doors, leading to a Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Associated Industrial Services Occupations—Passive Fire Protection (Construction).

If you need any other fire safety support or have questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re here to help.

As part of our fire safety work, we support Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs) with safety case development, fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys and external wall reviews.

We also manage Golden Thread data through Riskflag, which is a structured digital platform designed specifically for higher-risk residential settings.

As an approved RiskFlag delivery partner, we help clients capture, store and present their building safety information in a way that aligns with Building Safety Regulator expectations. It ensures key data is traceable, auditable and easy to update – supporting both initial submission and long-term compliance.
