Our team conducts both non-intrusive and intrusive inspections where appropriate, producing schedules of defects with location-specific photographs and risk-ranked remedial guidance. Fire door inspections are conducted to current standards with findings recorded at individual door level. This approach provides contractor-ready scopes and supports quality assurance through to completion. ##### External Wall Appraisals and FRAEW Support We appraise external wall systems in line with PAS 9980:2022 methodology. Our services include desk-based reviews, site inspections by competent specialists, and risk appraisal reports with mitigation options.

Fire Risk Assessments (Type 1-4) We conduct Fire Risk Assessments aligned to PAS 79-1:2020 for both housing and non-domestic properties. Our assessments cover common parts and, where appropriate, housing-specific scopes including Type 1 to Type 4 models for multi-occupied residential buildings. We provide clear risk ratings that support Article 9 suitable and sufficient duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our reports include prioritised action plans with target dates, concise summaries, and complete documentation. Where higher levels of intrusion are justified, Type 2 to Type 4 assessments provide increasing assurance through sample inspections, destructive inspection, and verification of passive fire protection systems. Our assessors are accredited to BAFE SP205 standards and work within established competence frameworks to ensure consistent quality. ##### 2. Compartmentation and Fire Door Inspections We survey fire compartmentation systems including walls, floors, ceilings, service risers, and penetrations. Our inspections identify defects in fire stopping, cavity barriers, and structural compartmentation that could allow fire and smoke spread. We conduct both non-intrusive surveys using thermal imaging and visual inspection, and intrusive surveys where opening-up works are required. Fire door inspections are conducted to current standards with findings recorded at individual door level. Our outputs include schedules of defects with location-specific photographs, risk rankings, and practical remedial guidance. This documentation provides clear scopes for fire stopping contractors and supports quality assurance through to completion. ##### 3. External Wall Appraisals and EWS1 Support We appraise external wall systems in line with PAS 9980:2022 methodology. Our services include desk-based reviews of construction details, drawings, and specifications followed by site inspections conducted by competent specialists. We produce risk appraisal reports that identify fire safety concerns with external wall systems and provide mitigation options. Where lenders require EWS1 forms, we provide supporting documentation and evidence packs. Our approach recognises that EWS1 is a lender requirement rather than a statutory duty, and we structure our reports to meet both lender expectations and regulatory guidance. Our evidence packs support mortgage applications, property transactions, and insurance requirements. ##### 4. Data Management and Action Tracking we provide reporting systems that consolidate fire safety data and track remedial actions through to completion. Our reports include action status, priorities, and deadlines across portfolios. Data exports are available in formats compatible with common compliance and asset management systems. Our documentation supports Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 requirements including provision of building plans and external wall information to Fire and Rescue Services where applicable. ## Our process ![](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/james-feaver-O4Ywu_YNj5A-unsplash-3.avif) ![](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rectangle-42504.avif) ![](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/b6c99110e006a0c639aae3ec2c154f35cfc85bc3-1.avif) ### Discovery We begin by understanding your requirements, operational context and the outcomes you need to achieve.

A Fire Risk Assessment evaluates the risk to life from fire and identifies required actions to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. A compartmentation survey identifies specific construction defects in fire-resisting elements such as walls, floors, and service penetrations. The FRA may identify the need for a compartmentation survey, and the compartmentation survey provides the detailed remedial specification. ##### Do we need Type 2, 3 or 4 Fire Risk Assessments? Type 1 assessments cover common parts without entering individual dwellings. Type 2 to Type 4 assessments provide increasing levels of intrusion and assurance where risk profile, building characteristics, or management concerns justify additional inspection. Your fire risk assessor should recommend the appropriate level based on building use, construction, and risk factors. ##### How do you ensure assessor competence? Our assessors are accredited to BAFE SP205 standards and work within established competence frameworks. We maintain quality assurance processes including supervisor reviews and sample re-inspections. Our team includes specialists with qualifications and experience appropriate to the building types and fire safety systems being assessed. ##### Can you support FRAEW and EWS1 requirements? Yes. We appraise external wall systems in line with PAS 9980:2022 methodology and provide evidence to support lender requirements where EWS1 forms are needed. Our reports are structured to meet both regulatory guidance and lender expectations for external wall fire safety. ##### How quickly can remedial actions be closed out? We provide prioritised action plans with contractor-ready specifications and coordinate with your fire stopping and door contractors. We track actions through to completion with photographic evidence. Typical timeframes depend on access arrangements, contractor availability, and the extent of works required. ##### Can your data integrate with our existing systems? Yes. We provide data exports in formats compatible with common compliance and asset management platforms. Our export formats support standard data exchange requirements. ## Learn More [About Us](/about-us/) [Accreditations](/our-approach/) [Case Studies](/case-study/) Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news Latest news ## Latest news [Compliance 100 Achieves RICS Regulated Firm Status !\[\](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/arrow-up-left-svgrepo-com-3-3.svg) Announcement Mar. 2026](https://compliance100.co.uk/compliance-100-achieves-rics-regulated-firm-status/) [Compliance 100 Secures Ipswich Borough Council EPC Contract for 3,000+ Homes !\[\](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/arrow-up-left-svgrepo-com-3-3.svg) News Mar. 2026](https://compliance100.co.uk/compliance-100-secures-ipswich-borough-council-epc-contract-for-3000-homes/) [Compliance 100 Launches Compliance 100 Facility Management !\[\](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/arrow-up-left-svgrepo-com-3-3.svg) News Mar. 2026](https://compliance100.co.uk/compliance-100-launches-compliance-100-facilities-management/) [Compliance 100 Appointed by Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils to Deliver Damp, Mould and Condensation Survey Services !\[\](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/arrow-up-left-svgrepo-com-3-3.svg) News Mar. 2026](https://compliance100.co.uk/compliance-100-appointed-by-babergh-and-mid-suffolk-district-councils-to-deliver-damp-mould-and-condensation-survey-services/) ![](https://compliance100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Vector-7-2.svg) ## Get in touch to start your project [Get in touch](/contact/)
