Fire risk assessments in Weymouth and Portland

We cover Weymouth, Wyke Regis, Radipole, Preston and Portland. Our service is available to freeholders and resident directors as well as managing agents and business owners.

For seafront conversions and buildings with both permanent homes and holiday accommodation, shared stairs and access arrangements deserve careful attention. We can discuss the assessment you need, including advice before a holiday property is occupied.

Residential and commercial fire risk assessments

Blocks of flats and converted buildings

For a converted house or purpose-built block, we assess the shared areas and explain the recommended improvements. The report gives owners and managing agents a practical basis for arranging repairs and following up the work.

Residential fire risk assessments

Shops, offices and business premises

We assess shops, offices and other business premises, and can discuss the requirements for holiday accommodation. If you are refurbishing or changing the use of a property, contact us before booking so we can advise on the right service.

Commercial fire risk assessments

What 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.

Also available: fire door inspections

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.

Your fire risk assessment questions

How much does a fire risk assessment in Weymouth 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 help before a holiday let opens?

Yes. If you are preparing a property for guests, we can discuss fire safety advice before occupation and the assessment needed once the arrangements are in place. Tell us whether refurbishment is still under way when you enquire.

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.
