Fire risk assessments for apartment buildings, converted flats and businesses across Bournemouth.
Understand the fire risks at your property and the steps needed to address them. We provide a clear written report, with the price agreed before booking.
We cover central Bournemouth, Westbourne, Boscombe, Southbourne and Winton. You can book directly as a freeholder, resident director or business owner, or through your managing agent.
For a converted house, an apartment block or accommodation used by short-stay guests, choosing the right assessment matters. We will help you arrange the service you need and explain access arrangements before the visit.
We assess the shared areas of purpose-built blocks and converted flats, including entrances and stairways. The findings help you decide what needs repairing, what needs further investigation and how to prioritise the work.
Residential fire risk assessmentsWe help shops, offices and other businesses review fire safety for staff and visitors. For holiday accommodation or a building shared with residential occupiers, we will explain the assessment needed when you enquire.
Commercial fire risk assessmentsThe visit considers how a fire could start, who could be affected and the precautions in place. This includes:
We agree the areas to be assessed before attending. The FRA does not replace servicing or specialist testing of your equipment.
A written fire risk assessment explaining the findings, the overall risk and recommended improvements. Your action plan sets out priorities and timescales, helping you decide what to arrange first.
You can use the report to brief contractors, discuss work with fellow directors and keep a record of progress. Where something needs further investigation, we explain why.

If you need a detailed check of communal or flat entrance fire doors, we can arrange a separate door-by-door inspection. You receive a record of the doors checked, defects and recommended repairs.
You can book this alongside an FRA or as a standalone service. We will explain the access needed and confirm the price in advance.

Yes. We can discuss an assessment for a converted block or holiday accommodation. Let us know how the property is occupied so we can explain what the visit and report will cover.
We visit the agreed areas, review the fire precautions and relevant records, and provide a written report with recommended actions and priorities. Any areas we could not inspect or matters needing further investigation are clearly identified.
We confirm appointment availability and the expected report date before you book. If you have a deadline, let us know when you enquire. Any immediate concerns identified during the visit will be brought to your attention.
A common-parts assessment usually concentrates on the shared areas. Access requirements depend on the agreed assessment and any door checks, so we explain them before the visit and help you plan appointments where needed.
Not always. The FRA considers fire doors as part of the overall assessment. A separate inspection provides a more detailed door-by-door record and can also be booked independently. We can explain which service would be useful for your property.
