The workplace
The premises layout, activities and occupancy across the areas inspected.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
Commercial fire risk assessments
For offices, shops, industrial units and specialist workplaces. A scope shaped 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.

Significant findings
& action priorities
How a finding can be presented—not an actual client report.
Priority for action
Keep the escape route clear
Remove stored items from the designated route and include the area in routine management checks.
Further inspection
Review a doorset defect
Arrange competent inspection where the condition of a doorset needs closer examination.

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 each premises’ findings clearly identified.
