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.
Commercial office buildings carry a unique risk profile, open-plan floors with high cable density, server rooms, shared core areas, multiple tenants with unclear demarcation, and frequent changes of occupancy that invalidate previous assessments.
A generic template assessment completed in 90 minutes by a junior assessor doesn't capture any of this. When your insurer, fire authority or managing agent asks for evidence, a thin report is the first thing they challenge.
Clear Fire office assessments are carried out on-site by Kevin or Jon, owners who know what office buildings actually look like, and written to reflect the building you have, not the building the template assumed.
Drawn from Kevin and Jon's combined assessment experience. Most office FRAs flag five or six of these, and most are inexpensive to fix once they're on a costed action plan.
Almost every office has at least one, typically between an open-plan floor and the protected stair. A compartmentation failure under Article 17.
Unmanaged trailing leads, over-loaded extension blocks under desks, chargers on combustible storage. A leading ignition source in modern offices.
Suppression absent or expired, ventilation grilles blocked with stored boxes, no separate detection circuit. High consequence even when likelihood is low.
Toasters and microwaves close to combustible storage, no localised extinguisher, no Class F suppression where there is frequent cooking.
Cardboard, marketing materials and unattended deliveries inside the lift lobby or stair core. Reduces compartmentation and impedes evacuation.
One or more luminaires non-functional, test log over 90 days old, no PEEP-compatible illumination on the accessible route.
Insufficient trained marshals for the occupancy, no refresher schedule, no documented coverage for hybrid-working days. Cited under Article 21.
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans missing for disclosed staff, or the register not reviewed inside the last 12 months.
For multi-let offices: unclear demarcation between common-parts FRA (landlord) and demised-space FRA (tenant). Both parties think the other has it.
Your assessment arrives as a signed PDF with a one-page management summary at the front, photographic evidence stitched to every finding, and a separately downloadable evidence appendix.
Findings are prioritised against the PAS 79-1 likelihood-and-consequence matrix into four bands, each with an indicative remediation window.
Kevin was superb in responding quickly when asked to step in and replace an inadequate fire risk assessment delivered by another firm.
