FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
Commercial fire risk assessments in Medway & Kent
For offices, shops, industrial units and specialist workplaces in Medway and Kent. Based in Gillingham, with London visits by arrangement. Each assessment is scoped around how your business uses its premises.
SCOPE COMES FIRST
A useful assessment starts
with the right questions.
Experience includes laboratory assessments through USC for TDL premises and assessment and training work for BritNed.
We agree the inspection scope, access arrangements and available records before the visit. The report identifies limitations as well as findings, so you know what was assessed.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your questions,
answered clearly.
Need to discuss a particular building?
Speak to Darren J Young MIFSMWhat will I receive?
A written fire risk assessment recording the agreed scope, accessible areas, significant findings and a prioritised action plan. We explain the findings so you can understand the next steps.
How much does an assessment cost?
We quote for your premises rather than offering one price for every building. Size, occupancy, use, complexity, travel and the agreed scope all affect the quote.
What should I have ready for the visit?
Where available, gather your previous FRA, floor plans, alarm and emergency lighting records, fire door records and emergency arrangements. We will confirm what is useful when agreeing the visit.
How often should an FRA be reviewed?
An FRA needs regular review and updating following significant changes. The appropriate review arrangements depend on the premises and risk; we discuss these with you. See the government’s five-step checklist for the general duty.
Does an FRA replace a fire door survey?
An FRA reviews fire protection within its agreed scope. A dedicated fire door survey provides a more detailed inspection of individual doorsets. We can discuss whether separate inspection work is appropriate.
Can you assess more than one property?
Yes—tell us about the portfolio, locations and property types. We can discuss a coordinated approach while keeping the findings for each property clearly identified.
