Fire Risk Assessment in Nottingham

Fire Safety & Assessments in Nottingham

Fire safety in residential blocks, care homes and student buildings needs a careful, independent eye. Our fire risk assessments in Nottingham help managing agents, housing providers and building owners understand the real risks in their premises, and give them a clear plan to put things right.

Our assessors follow PAS 79 and have been completing fire risk assessments since the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 was introduced.

Choosing the Right Fire Risk Assessment for Your Nottingham Block

Not every building needs the same level of inspection. For blocks of flats, our fire risk assessments come in four types:

• Type 1: a non-destructive check of the communal and managed areas. This is usually enough for most blocks.
• Type 2: like a Type 1, with sampled destructive inspection of the separating construction. It's a one-off exercise used when structural problems are suspected.
• Type 3: a non-destructive inspection of the common parts and a sample of flats, used when the risk to residents inside their flats is a concern.
• Type 4: the most thorough option, with sampled destructive inspection of common parts and flats. We only recommend it in exceptional circumstances.

More invasive assessments can cause some damage, so we'll explain the options first. For properties built before 2000, a Type 2 may also need an asbestos assessor, and we can coordinate any other trades required.

Fire Door Inspections in Nottingham

Fire doors are one of the most important parts of a building's fire safety. They prevent the spread of fire and smoke and give people critical time to evacuate. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have made their condition more important than ever.

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Checked?

All fire doors should be inspected at least once a year. In buildings over 11 metres high, communal and cupboard doors should be checked every three months. Since January 2023, buildings with two or more separate homes have needed regular fire door checks.

What Our Fire Door Surveys Include

Our assessors carry out each fire door inspection using a custom-built app. We look at flat entrance doors, communal doors and cupboard doors, and send your report within 48 hours with photos and recommendations for any repairs or upgrades. With proper maintenance, a fire door can last 10 to 15 years, so regular checks help you get the most out of yours.

Care Homes, Schools and Student Buildings

Some buildings house people who may need extra help in an emergency. We support care homes with detailed assessments and actionable recommendations to protect vulnerable residents. We also work with schools, colleges and universities, tailoring each assessment to the layout and structure of the site.
