Fire safety inspection

Ensuring Compliance & Protection

A Fire Safety Inspection is a detailed check of your building’s fire safety systems, procedures, and equipment. It involves assessing how well your premises are protected against the risk of fire and whether you’re prepared to respond effectively in an emergency. These inspections go beyond a basic walk-through — they look at all critical elements that could save lives and reduce damage in the event of a fire.

Compliant. Prepared. Protected.

In the UK, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the “Responsible Person” (usually the employer, landlord, or building owner) to ensure that fire safety precautions are in place and regularly maintained. A fire safety inspection supports this responsibility by identifying any weaknesses or non-compliance, helping you:

  • Prevent fire hazards
  • Ensure fire alarms and extinguishers are working correctly
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Protect staff, tenants, or customers
  • Avoid costly fines or enforcement actions

Our inspections are carried out by qualified professionals with in-depth knowledge of British Standards (such as BS 9999, BS 5839, and BS 5306) and current legal requirements. During our visit, we assess:

  •  Fire detection and alarm systems – Are alarms correctly placed and fully functional?
  •  Fire-fighting equipment – Are extinguishers serviced, labelled, and suitable for the fire risks present?
  •  Fire exits and escape routes – Are exits clearly marked, accessible, and compliant with regulations?
  •  Emergency lighting and signage – Is evacuation lighting tested, and are signs in the right locations?
  •  Fire drills and staff training – Are your team members trained, and do you run regular evacuation drills?
  •  Logbooks and documentation – Do you have maintenance records, risk assessments, and test reports?

After the inspection, you receive a detailed digital report, including photos, compliance status, risk ratings, and a prioritized action plan.

  • Early detection saves lives – A working fire alarm system can cut evacuation time in half.
  • Avoid fines and closures – Non-compliance can lead to hefty penalties or even prosecution.
  • Protect your investment – Insurance companies may refuse claims if safety systems weren’t properly maintained.
  • It’s the law – If you’re the Responsible Person, the law holds you accountable for fire safety.
