Fire Risk Assessment
Our comprehensive fire risk assessments identify potential hazards and evaluate existing safety measures. The service covers all building types and includes detailed reporting with remedial action recommendations. Assessments comply with current legislation and building regulations.

We develop tailored fire safety strategies that integrate with building design and usage requirements. Our strategies address escape routes, compartmentation and suppression systems while ensuring regulatory compliance. Documentation supports building control submissions and ongoing management.
Compartmentation Surveys
Specialist surveys assess fire compartmentation integrity in existing buildings. We identify breaches and provide detailed remediation specifications. Surveys support compliance with building regulations and insurance requirements for commercial properties.
CFD Modelling
Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling predicts fire and smoke behaviour in complex buildings. This advanced analysis informs escape route design and ventilation strategies. Modelling supports approval for innovative architectural designs while maintaining safety standards.
