Gary conducted a fire risk assessment at Glentromie Lodge.  His approach for professional but also informative.  He helped me understand not just what we needed to do, but how to go about it.  I highly rate him.

We contacted Staines for some Independent Fire Safety Advice. I'm the owner of a holiday let that is managed by a local agent. They had recently carried out a general maintenance inspection at my property and come back with a £££ quotation for fire safety work. Wanting a 2nd opinion, the director Gary Staines carried out a thorough inspection of the property and discussed the findings and recommendations with us. Whilst Staines doesn't carry out the work themselves they can recommend reputable contractors. Some of the recommendations differed considerably from the quote we had had. I would strongly recommend Staines to anyone wanting independent advice regarding Fire Safety.

Gary at Staines Safety really helped me out when I was in a pickle as fire door safety as a landlord is increasing challenging. Gary was able to provide cost effective solutions and knowledge and insight in fire safety was so invaluable.

He was able to assist with my fire door services that I needed and was on hand every step of the way. Would highly recommend.
