4Fire Risk Assessments
(FRAs) 

Our Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) provide an assessment of the risk to life from fire and, where appropriate, actions and recommendations are captured to assist you in mitigating or removing risks to ensure people are as safe as possible.

 

4FRAEW and
EWS1 Forms

Based on the defined PAS9980 methodology, a Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (FRAEW) is undertaken by our competent experts to investigate and report the risks posed to occupants in a building from a fire spreading over or within the external wall system present on the building.

4Compartmentation Surveys and     
Compartmentation Line Plans 

Our compartmentation survey assesses and captures the defects found in fire rated compartments of buildings, which are normally related to floors, walls, ceilings, doors, windows and services passing from one compartment to another.  

 

4Compartmentation Audits

An additional step you can take to ensure the safety of your tenants and prevent damage to the structure of your building is to undertake a Compartmentation Audit. Our Audits are a simple way of gaining assurance that your compartmentation survey has been completed in a robust and comprehensive way and that it is representative of all of your buildings risks, without the need for a full survey.
