Accredited fire risk assessments for landlords, business owners, holiday let operators, and property managers – delivered by a qualified expert with over 20 years’ housing enforcement experience.
If you own or manage a property — whether it’s an HMO, rental home, small business premises, or holiday let — you have a legal responsibility to ensure it meets fire safety requirements. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “Responsible Person” must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place and reviewed regularly.
Failing to comply can result in fines, enforcement action, or even prosecution. Our accredited fire risk assessments give you peace of mind that your property meets both legal and industry standards.
We are proud to be Tier 2 accredited Fire Risk Assessors through the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) — a UKAS-recognised scheme. This means:
– Our work is independently audited to national standards.
– Our assessments stand up to legal and insurance scrutiny.
– We’re fully aligned with upcoming government changes that will require UKAS-accredited certification for fire risk assessors.
The Home Office has announced plans to introduce mandatory competence requirements for Fire Risk Assessors - making UKAS-accredited assessments the new legal standard and enhancing enforcement powers. Coupled with stricter HHSRS enforcement under the Renters (Reform) Bill, these changes mean landlords and duty holders must be ready. Act now to avoid penalties and stay compliant.

Our Fire Risk Assessment process includes:
We carry out a thorough walk-through of your property to assess the current fire safety measures in place, looking at the building layout, use, and occupancy.
We identify any fire hazards or risks to life, such as sources of ignition, combustible materials, or issues that could delay evacuation in an emergency.
We assess your fire detection and alarm systems, escape routes, and emergency lighting to ensure they meet legal standards and work effectively.
We check that fire doors are in good condition, extinguishers are present and serviced, and safety signage is clear, visible, and correctly placed.
You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining any issues, with a prioritised action plan so you know exactly what to address first.
We don’t just leave you with a report — we’re here to offer follow-up advice and guidance to help you implement changes and remain fully compliant over time.
We offer competitive, fixed-fee pricing based on property type and assessment needs — no hidden costs or confusing terms.

We’re proud to support landlords, letting agents, property managers, and small business owners with reliable, compliance-focused assessments. Here’s what our clients say about working with us.
We understand that property compliance can feel overwhelming, so we’ve answered some common questions to help make things clearer.
If you rent out a small commercial property, holiday let, or HMO, you are legally required to have a fire risk assessment in place. This helps ensure your property is safe and meets legal fire safety standards.
HHSRS stands for the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. It’s a government framework used to assess potential health and safety risks in rental properties. Landlords are required to ensure their properties meet these standards to avoid enforcement action.
Costs vary depending on the type, size and layout of your property. We’ll provide a personalised quote after discussing your needs — no obligation, no hidden fees.
On-site assessments typically take 1 to 2 hours. Once completed, we aim to deliver your report within a few working days, depending on the type of service.
We offer in-person services across Devon and Cornwall, with digital consultations available for some services if you’re based further afield.
Absolutely. With over 20 years of combined experience in housing compliance – including working within local authority teams – we know what enforcement officers are looking for. We’ll help you feel confident and prepared.
