Fire risk assessments with every finding marked.
Two assessors walk your premises and number every finding on a photograph.
1
Door wedged open
Act now
Remove the wedge and fit a hold-open that lets go when the alarm sounds.
2
Boxes on escape route
Within a month
Clear the corridor and agree a proper store for the boxes.
Every assessment is carried out by a named, registered assessor and covered by professional indemnity insurance.
Premises we assess
The method is the same everywhere, but what we check changes with the building.
How an assessment works
Five steps, and the photograph shows what the findings look like.

1
Book
Send the form or phone us and we agree a fixed fee from what you tell us about the building, not by the hour.
2
Site visit
An assessor walks every area people can reach, cupboards and plant rooms included, and photographs what they find.
3
Written report
The report reaches you within five working days of the visit, with each finding marked on a photograph.
4
Action plan
Every finding gets a priority, an action and a name, so you know what to do first and who is doing it.
5
Review date
The report sets a date to look again, and we write to you before it arrives.
What we offer
One assessment, and four things that go with it.
A full assessment of the premises, with a written report and action plan.
Every fire door checked and listed with its fault.
Written plans for getting everyone out, including people who need help.
A practical session for the staff who will lead others out.
A second look at the thinking behind a building that has changed.
From a recent assessment
One recent visit, finding by finding.
A primary school in Haldermoor
A building that has to empty in a hurry, with hall doors wedged, coats crowding the way out and a bin against an exit.
1
Bin against exit door
Act now
Move the bin outside and keep the exit door free at all times.
2
Hall doors wedged open
Within a month
Fit hold-open units that release on the alarm and stop using the bench.
3
Coats crowd the route
Within three months
Move the pegs to bays off the walkway and set a limit on bags.
Guidance
Short, practical reading for people who look after buildings.
