Fire Risk Assessments & Compartmentation Surveys
PW Fire Safety Services provides independent Fire Risk Assessments and compartmentation surveys across London and the Home Counties.
Assessments are undertaken by an Advanced Level Registered Fire Risk Assessor with over 30 years’ experience in operational firefighting, fire safety enforcement and fire risk management.
Our objective is to provide practical, proportionate and cost-effective fire safety advice that helps Responsible Persons meet their duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
We regularly undertake assessments within:
✓ Residential low/medium/high rise buildings
✓ Social housing schemes
✓ Sheltered & extra care accommodation
✓ Supported and assisted living
✓ HMOs
✓ Student accommodation
✓ Offices and commercial premises
✓ Care homes
✓ Mixed-use developments
✓ Compartmentation surveys
The Assessment Process
What to Expect
- Step 1
When you contact us, we will discuss your requirements and provide you with a quotation of costs for you to consider.
- Step 2
If acceptable, we will arrange a mutually agreeable date for the assessment to be carried out. Generally, we can go about our business unsupported, particularly residential multi-occupied buildings whereby your attendance on site is not required.
- Step 3
Pre-visit requests - Prior to our site visit, we will send you a property information sheet for you to complete. This will assist us in carrying out the assessment and report.
- Step 4
We will assess your building and produce a full and comprehensive report within seven days. Any recommendations and action plans will be devised in partnership with the client.
The Fire Safety Act 2021 states, flat entrance doors of a multi-occupied residential building should be included in the fire risk assessment. We will attempt to sample a minimum 10% of individual flat entrance doors that open into communal areas.
Your Fire Risk Assessment report.
Your comprehensive report will include any photographs necessary to highlight any particular deficiencies and actions you need to take. We will also highlight good practices, fire safety features and processes encountered to enhance the clarity of the report. All our reports are user friendly and easy to follow.
Ongoing support
As part of our service, our team will be available in an advisory capacity to our clients to assist with any queries which may arise from the Fire Risk Assessment. We will also represent you with any subsequent third-party enquiries from the report.
