Independent Type 1–4 fire risk assessments delivered on-site by Kevin or Jon, never a junior, never a subcontractor. Plain-English reports with prioritised actions, ready for your responsible person, insurer and fire authority.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal duty on every responsible person to hold a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for their premises. But "suitable and sufficient" is where most assessments fall short.
Generic templates, junior assessors who have never walked your building, and reports that gather dust until an insurer or enforcement notice forces the issue, this is the norm, not the exception.
Clear Fire exists because the consequences of a poor assessment are serious: invalidated insurance, enforcement notices, prosecution, and in the worst cases, preventable harm to people in your building.
An FRA identifies fire hazards, the people at risk, and what you need to do to remove or control those hazards. It produces a documented record, risk-rated findings, an action plan and the references your insurer and responsible person will ask for.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for almost every non-domestic building in England and Wales must make and record a "suitable and sufficient" assessment. Clear Fire assessments are written to that exact standard.
Each property type carries its own occupancy profile, risk factors and regulatory requirements. Kevin and Jon know the difference, and write reports that reflect it.

Kevin was superb in responding quickly when asked to step in and replace an inadequate fire risk assessment delivered by another firm.
The law is short: "regularly", and immediately when there is reason to suspect the assessment is no longer valid. In practice that means a fixed cycle by building type, plus a trigger review whenever the building, use or occupancy materially changes.
Kevin and Jon are happy to give you a straight answer before you book, no sales pitch, just plain advice.
