Fire Safety Consultancy in London and Surrey

Practical, Independent Fire Safety Advice | Support With Action Plans, Documentation, Change and Ongoing Responsibilities

Clear, Practical Advice for Managing Fire Safety

Fire safety duties often involve more than commissioning a single assessment. Responsible Persons, landlords, facilities teams and business owners may need help understanding findings, prioritising actions, coordinating different parties and keeping suitable records.

Our consultancy service provides independent, practical support tailored to your premises and circumstances. We help you turn technical information into manageable next steps and make informed decisions within the agreed scope of our competence.

Important: This is an advisory service, not legal advice, fire-engineering design, building-control approval or a guarantee of compliance. Where specialist design, testing or legal input is required, we will explain the limitation and recommend the appropriate next step.

When Fire Safety Consultancy Can Help

Consultancy can be useful when responsibilities, priorities or practical next steps are unclear. It can support day-to-day management, changes to the premises and the follow-up work needed after a fire risk assessment.

  • You have an action plan but need help deciding what to address first
  • You need to clarify Responsible Person roles or shared-building responsibilities
  • Your fire safety arrangements or records need to be brought together
  • You are planning alterations, a change of use or refurbishment
  • You want an independent view on contractor proposals or remedial priorities
  • Your organisation has recurring issues, new management or operational changes
  • You need ongoing access to practical fire safety advice

The Guidance Behind Our Advice

Our advice is informed by the fire safety framework that applies to non-domestic premises and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings in England. The exact duties and suitable measures depend on the premises, people, activities and level of risk.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

The principal legal framework for fire safety in most non-domestic premises in England and Wales.

Responsible Person Duties

Responsible Persons must assess risk, maintain suitable measures, plan for emergencies, inform people and provide appropriate instruction and training.

Section 156 Record-Keeping

Current guidance explains requirements to record the full assessment, fire safety arrangements and relevant Responsible Person information.

Building Work and Alterations

Building work must satisfy the Building Regulations. Complex design questions may require a competent fire engineer, designer or building-control input.

Who We Support

Our consultancy is designed for people who control, manage or advise on non-domestic premises and the common areas of multi-occupied residential buildings.

Businesses and Commercial Premises

Owners, employers, tenants and facilities teams managing shops, offices, hospitality, warehouses and other workplaces.

Landlords and Managing Agents

Those responsible for common areas, shared premises, residential blocks, HMOs and mixed-use buildings.

Charities and Community Organisations

Trustees, managers and volunteers who need proportionate, understandable support for public-facing premises.

Education, Care and Public Settings

Duty holders responsible for premises with changing occupancy, vulnerable people or more complex management arrangements.

Our Fire Safety Consultancy Services

We agree the purpose and boundaries of the instruction at the outset. Depending on your needs, support may include one or more of the following areas.

Fire Risk Action Plan Support

Reviewing assessment actions, explaining priorities and helping you organise a realistic, risk-based programme of work.

Responsible Person Guidance

Helping duty holders understand how their role, control of the premises and shared responsibilities relate to day-to-day fire safety management.

Fire Safety Arrangements and Records

Policies and Procedures

Reviewing or developing proportionate arrangements that reflect how your organisation and premises actually operate.

Building Changes and Refurbishment

Early-stage fire safety input to help identify issues before changes progress. This does not replace design, building-control approval or specialist fire engineering.

Contractor and Proposal Review

Helping you understand whether quotations, scopes or proposed remedial work address the identified concern, without acting as the installer or approving authority.

Multi-Occupancy Coordination

Supporting clearer communication and information-sharing between landlords, tenants, managing agents and other Responsible Persons.

Ongoing Advisory Support

Ad hoc or scheduled support for changing risks, management questions, documentation reviews and practical fire safety decisions.

1. Define the Question

We agree the issue, desired outcome, available information and limits of the instruction.

2. Review the Evidence

We examine relevant assessments, plans, records, photographs, proposals or premises conditions.

3. Explain the Options
