Regular inspections are an essential element of fire prevention as well-maintained fire compartments are a key element in the fire safety of buildings.

Previously safe compartments are often breached by the introduction of mechanical, electrical, and I.T. Services. Defects can stay hidden, typically in ceiling voids and riser cupboards, until a fire occurs and the problem becomes all too apparent.

In a fire situation the smallest defect can become a route for the spread of smoke and flame, not only endangering lives but also the property and lifeblood of an organisation.


Under the new legislation, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the onus will now be on Premises Managers to arrange for competent persons to undertake regular fire safety assessments of their buildings.

Together with our very experienced network, we provide a complete range of detailed structural photographic surveys and reports for buildings affected by the forthcoming changes in legislation, which will end free inspections by the Fire Services.
