What We Do
Fire Risk Assessments to Current Standards
We conduct Fire Risk Assessments aligned to PAS 79-1:2020 for both housing and non-domestic properties. Our assessments provide Type 1 to Type 4 coverage depending on risk profile and access requirements. We deliver prioritised action plans with clear ratings that support Article 9 duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our reporting includes concise summaries with location-specific evidence and complete documentation. Our assessors are accredited to BAFE SP205 standards, ensuring competent and suitable assessment delivery.
Compartmentation and Fire Stopping Surveys
We survey walls, floors, ceilings, service risers, and penetrations to identify compartmentation defects. 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. Where lenders require EWS1 forms, we provide supporting evidence and documentation. Our reports are structured to meet regulator and lender requirements while providing clear risk information for decision-making.

FAQs
What is the difference between an FRA and a compartmentation survey?
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.
