The process

What happens on the day

No clipboard theatre. We walk the building with you, ask awkward questions, and leave you knowing where you stand.

BEFORE

A short phone call

What the building is, what it is used for, how many floors, whether anyone sleeps there. That is enough to fix a price and book a slot.

ON SITE

The walk round

Escape routes, doors, detection, emergency lighting, signage, extinguishers, electrics, heating, storage and housekeeping. We photograph as we go.

ON SITE

The questions

Who is here at night. Who would help a wheelchair user out. When the alarm was last tested and who tested it. This is where most of the real findings come from.

AFTER

The report

Within five working days, recorded in full as the law requires, with a numbered and prioritised action list.

What to have ready

None of this is essential. It just makes the visit quicker and the report better.

Will you shut me down?

No. We are not the enforcing authority. Our job is to find the problems before Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service does, and to give you a workable order to fix them in.

If something is genuinely dangerous we will tell you on the day rather than let you read about it a week later. That has happened perhaps a handful of times, and every one of them was a blocked or locked escape route.

Book a fire risk assessment

Tell us the building and we will give you a price on the phone. Most assessments are booked within the week.
