Fire safety compliance can be challenging.
I'm here to lighten the load.
I am an experienced fire risk assessor renowned for my attention to detail and quality of work. I have carried out assessments in a variety of sectors.
I can carry out shop fire risk assessments, hotel fire risk assessments, and fire risk assessments in HMO’s, purpose built and converted blocks of flats, amongst others.
As an independent fire safety assessor that does not sell any fire safety equipment, I will provide an accurate and independent report with recommendations that are reasonable, proportionate and consider cost vs benefit.
Sectors Include
- Local authority housing
- Places of entertainment
- Retail
- Education
- Healthcare
- Hospitality
- Food production
- Manufacturing
- and many sleeping risk properties.

Why Do You Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, amended by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act 2022, requires a fire risk assessment for all non-domestic premises and the common areas of any building with two or more domestic dwellings.
The Responsible Person must ensure the assessment is suitable and sufficient, covering the structure, external walls (including cladding and balconies), and flat entrance doors.
All Responsible Persons must now record the assessment and fire safety arrangements in writing, regardless of the number of employees.
How Can I Help You?
I can remove the stress of undertaking a fire safety risk assessment as I’m a consultant who is suitably experienced in multiple sectors. After working with you or your appointed manager, I will produce a report which includes a fire risk assessment record of significant findings, a clear and concise fire risk assessment action plan detailing recommended actions, and a full fire risk assessment of hazards in the building.
I ensure recommendations are appropriate to the premises and business circumstances to effectively reduce, minimise, or manage risks. My recommendations provide you with detailed guidance not bland statements which leave you confused to what action to take.
“My fire risk assessment services and recommendations are developed to promote strong fire safety management, ensure the safety of employees and others who may be affected by a fire, and protection to the premises and its contents, when required.”
