Fire risk assessments for blocks of flats, converted buildings and businesses in Bridport and West Dorset.
We help you understand what needs attention, with a written report and practical priorities. The price is agreed before you book.
Our coverage includes Bridport, West Bay, Bradpole and nearby communities. You do not need a managing agent to arrange an assessment: freeholders, resident directors and business owners can book directly.
For smaller converted blocks and flats above commercial premises, it can be difficult to know where to start. We explain which areas need assessing and provide findings that help owners agree repairs and organise the work.
We assess shared entrances, stairs and other common areas in blocks of flats and converted houses. The report helps you plan improvements, whether you manage the building yourself or work with an agent.
Residential fire risk assessmentsFor shops, offices and other business premises, we identify fire risks and recommend practical improvements. Where a business shares its building with flats, we also consider the arrangements that affect both occupiers.
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.
Find out about fire door inspectionsWe quote a fixed price based on the size, use and complexity of your property. Your quotation explains what is included, with no obligation to book. Send us the address and a brief description, or call 01305 237555.
Yes. We work directly with resident directors and freeholders, including those managing a small block themselves. We can explain access arrangements and what information would be useful before the visit.
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.
