Fire safety & compliance
Fire risk assessments
Fire risk assessments for blocks and managed buildings, with a prioritised action plan and the trades to close it out.
What we do
A fire risk assessment identifies the hazards in a building, the people at risk and the actions needed to reduce that risk to an acceptable level. We assess common parts, escape routes, compartmentation, signage, emergency lighting and the management arrangements around them.
The difference with IMS is what happens next. Most assessors hand over a report and leave you to find contractors for the actions. We can price and deliver the remedial works ourselves, so the actions get closed rather than carried forward to the next review.
What is included

- Assessment of common parts and escape routes

Where it fits
Required for blocks of flats, HMOs and commercial premises, and usually instructed by block managers and freeholders on a review cycle.

How pricing works
Priced by building size, number of floors and access arrangements. Remedial works are quoted separately once the action plan is agreed.
