We deliver the core Fire Compliance services that keep you and your people safe.
Fire Strategies
It is recommended that all properties have a written Fire Strategy and a Management Plan that clearly identifies the layout of the building, what escape routes there are, how evacuation from the property is managed and how the building fabric and systems should perform in the event of a fire. This information is collated in a “Fire Strategy”. A Fire Strategy is a mandatory document for all new developments or where alterations and refurbishment are planned. The Building Safety Act 2022 also mandates Fire Strategies for all existing High-Risk Buildings (HRB’s) over 18m or 7 storeys.
Fire Risk Assessment Surveys
From 1st October 2006 The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person (RP) of any non-domestic premises to carry out a fire risk assessment. This is the principal legislation covering fire risk. It is a legal requirement of the Fire Safety Order that all ‘responsible persons’ carry out a fire risk assessment of their premises in order to ensure the safety of all employees and other ‘relevant persons’.
Fire Door Surveys
A fire door survey establishes the condition and suitability of a fire door, whilst also providing context and risk ratings based upon the implications of any failures of doors on the general fire safety of a building.
Fire Compartmentation Surveys
A fire compartmentation survey is an assessment of the compartmentation of a building in respect of its suitability in containing smoke and fires, and protecting escape routes.
The objective is to assess whether the existing fire compartment walls (including the doors within them), as well as the floors and ceilings within the property are likely to restrict the potential spread of fire and smoke for the required period of time to enable safe evacuation.
