01

How to check a fire door

Certification, gaps, seals, hinges and closing. Five minutes, no equipment, and it is the most common finding we make anywhere in the county.

02

Alarm grades and categories

What Grade A to F and LD1, LD2, LD3 actually mean, and why two quotes for the same building can look nothing alike.

03

What a fire service audit involves

What Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service ask for, in what order, and what the different notices mean.

04

The ten‑point checklist

Walk your own building before anyone official does. Most of what is on it costs nothing to put right.

05

Do you need an assessment?

Who counts as the responsible person, and what changed in Wales on 1 October 2023.

06

What happens on the day
