Blocks of flats and converted buildings
From a single converted property to a development with several blocks, we assess shared residential areas and set out the improvements needed at each building.

Fire risk assessments in Taunton
Fire risk assessments for blocks of flats, offices, shops and other premises in Taunton.
We inspect your property and provide a clear written report, with recommended actions and priorities. The service and price are agreed before booking.
Assessments for Taunton buildings and developments
We cover Taunton, including Galmington and Staplegrove. Freeholders, resident directors and business owners can book directly for a single property, while managing agents can discuss several sites together.
For developments with more than one block, keeping track of individual assessments and repairs can take time. We can coordinate visits and provide clear findings for each building, helping you organise follow-up work.
Residential and commercial fire risk assessments
Shops, offices and business premises
We assess offices, shops and other commercial premises, considering precautions for staff and visitors alongside day-to-day fire safety arrangements. You receive recommendations you can use to plan improvements.
Commercial fire risk assessmentsWhat we look at
The visit considers how a fire could start, who could be affected and the precautions in place. This includes:
- Escape routes, exits and evacuation arrangements
- Fire detection, warning systems and emergency lighting
- Fire doors and measures to limit the spread of fire
- Ignition sources, combustible materials and housekeeping
- Checks, maintenance records and day-to-day management
We agree the areas to be assessed before attending. The FRA does not replace servicing or specialist testing of your equipment.
What you receive
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.

How much does a fire risk assessment in Taunton cost?
We 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.
Can you assess a development with several blocks?
Yes. We can discuss the buildings, shared facilities and access arrangements, then confirm the assessments and price. Each report clearly identifies the property and areas it covers.
What does the assessment include?
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.
How quickly can you visit and issue the report?
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.
Will you need access inside the flats?
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.
Do I need a separate fire door inspection?
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.
