Your fire risk assessment should help you make decisions. We explain the findings in plain English and show which actions need to come first.

Clear findings

Understand what was identified, where it was found and what requires attention.

02

Proportionate recommendations

Recommendations are matched to the building, the finding and the level of fire-safety risk.

03

Practical priorities

Know what needs prompt action, what can be planned and where further investigation is appropriate.

What you receive

Your report and action plan

You receive a written fire risk assessment explaining the findings, the overall risk and any recommended improvements.
