What a fire risk assessment covers
We look at the whole building, write down what we find and say what to do first.
Eight areas, checked on foot
Each one is written up in the same report.
Whether everyone can reach a safe place quickly from every room.
Doors, closers, seals and gaps that let fire or smoke through.
Whether a fire would be noticed and how people would be told.
Whether routes are lit and marked if the power fails.
Where it is, whether it can be reached and who is expected to use it.
Cooking, heating, electrical equipment and anything else that gets hot or sparks.
What is kept where, and whether it could feed a fire or block a route.
Who is in the building, who needs help and who is in charge when the alarm sounds.
Add-ons
Book any of these with an assessment or on their own.
Every fire door in the building checked against one list, with a numbered schedule and a photograph of each fault. Half a day to a full day on site.
A written evacuation plan for the building, and a personal emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) for each person who would need help to leave. One visit, then a short meeting with the people concerned.
A practical session on your premises for the staff who will lead others out: the alarm, the routes, the roll call and what to do when a route is blocked. Half a day. Priced per session, up to twelve people.
We read the original fire strategy or design notes for a building that has changed, and mark where today’s use no longer matches them. One visit and a short written note.
How fees are set
We price from the size of the premises, the number of floors, how many people use it and whether anyone sleeps there. The quote is a fixed fee for the visit, the written report and the action plan, and it does not change on the day unless rooms we were not told about turn up. The “from” prices on this page are for the smallest premises of each kind.
