Where are you based?

Although our offices are based in Leeds, Saltburn and London, our dedicated team offers professional fire risk assessments and comprehensive fire door surveys to clients and properties right across the United Kingdom.

Is a Fire Risk Assessment mandatory?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require that the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must carry out a fire risk assessment of the premises and review it regularly.

Do you offer fire risk assessments for living accommodation?

Yes, we offer professional fire risk assessments for HMOs and all other types of living accommodation across the UK. This includes shared houses, bedsit-style properties, blocks of flats, converted houses, student accommodation and other multi-occupied residential buildings. We assess communal areas, escape routes, fire doors and, where required, a sample of individual rooms or flats, and we advise on the most suitable type of assessment for your property

Do you offer fire door surveys U.K wide?

Yes. We have fire door inspectors based at our offices in Leeds, Saltburn and London, and we carry out fire door surveys UK-wide. Wherever your property is located, our team can inspect fire doors, frames, seals, closers and associated hardware and provide a clear report with practical recommendations

Are your fire risk assessors qualified and competent?
All of our fire risk assessors hold a minimum of a Level 4 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment, and most hold the ProQual Level 5 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment. These qualifications align with BS 8674:2025, the British Standard for the competence of individual fire risk assessors, which sets Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced competence levels. The Level 5 Diploma meets the Advanced level of that standard, so the majority of our team are qualified to assess more complex and higher-risk buildings.
