Most clients arrive with a trigger; insurer evidence, managing agent deadline, council query, building change, or an out-of-date report. ClearFire visits the premises, evaluates the current fire safety arrangements and gives you a report you can act on.
The work is grounded in construction experience, so findings are judged against how the building is actually used. Escape routes, doors, facades, storage, paperwork and daily routines all matter. You get clear priorities, practical next steps and a report you can share with the people asking questions. That matters when you need to brief contractors, update a director, answer an insurer or decide what should be done first.
ClearFire brings together Bonnar Fire Risk Assessments Ltd and Sheaf FRA Ltd, giving clients direct access to experienced fire risk assessors with deep construction knowledge. Kevin Bonnar and Jon Sheaf assess each building through the details that shape real risk: escape routes, fire doors, facades, occupancy, management routines and the remedial work needed to make the report actionable.

Every service is designed to answer a different question. What risk exists today? What needs fixing? What safety arrangements are in place? What should happen before occupation? What has changed since the last assessment?
Know where the risk sits, what requires attention and what evidence exists to support the decisions that follow. Designed for responsible persons who need clarity, not assumptions.
