Fire Risk Assessments in London 

There are a number of different types of premises that are legally required to undertake periodic fire risk assessments. Included in this list are working environments like, offices, factories, warehouses, shops and supermarkets and shopping malls. This legislation also covers residential accommodation such as apartment blocks, guest houses, holiday homes and hotels. 

A fire risk assessment forms the basis of fire safety planning for any type of property. The purpose of a fire risk assessment is to identify possible fire hazards while at the same time evaluating how effective your current fire measures are. At Acuity we have a team of fully qualified fire risk assessors who have a wealth of industry knowledge and experience when it comes to delivering fire risk assessments in London. 

The comprehensive streamlined assessment process undertaken by our expert team will help guarantee that not only is your property fully protected against the risk of fire but also that you are compliant with all relevant fire safety legislation. 

During a fire risk assessment our team will carry out a full inspection of your premises. Our assessors will identify possible sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen, as well as evaluating fire detection and alarm systems, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, and other fire fighting equipment, as well as evacuation plans.  

On completion of the inspection you will be provided with a detailed report based on our findings. This report will outline any steps you need to take in order to remain compliant with current fire safety legislation. As part of the evaluation, we assess how well trained your staff or residents are in case of a fire breaking out. So, if you want to ensure you mitigate the possibility of fire in your premises contact the team here at Acuity Compliance today. 

Fire Door Inspections in London

 Fire door inspections in London are a key component of fire safety. The main role of a fire door is to slow down the spread of smoke and contain the fire which in turn gives occupants  the time required to be able to exit the property in a safe manner. By having all the fire doors in your building inspected on a regular basis you will have peace of mind that they are functioning as they should and continue to meet specifications outlined in the latest fire safety legislation.   

When carrying out an inspection our fully trained and certified team will examine all the major components of your fire doors. They will check the stability and make up of the door and frame and confirm that door closers are operating efficiently. All hinges, seals and latches will be examined and our team will also take a look at your signage ensuring that it is correctly displayed and located. 

The assessor will check to ensure that any gaps between the door and frame come within specified limits. Fire doors with poor or incorrect alignment are unlikely to be able to contain fire effectively which in turn exposes your building and anyone inside at risk. Upon completion of the inspection, we will provide you with a detailed report outlining any remedial action needed to ensure compliance with all legislation. 

Compartmentation Surveys in London 

In order to limit the spread of fire and smoke, buildings can sometimes be divided into smaller, more manageable areas which often helps minimise the threat. By doing this, vital escape routes can be protected, which gives the occupants of a building the time they need to evacuate the property in safety. .  

During a compartmentation survey in London our fully trained assessors will take an in depth look at the state of fire-resistant walls, floors, ceilings, along with the barriers used in the creation of the compartments. During our extensive survey our team will look at the condition of your property and ensure that the fire strategy of your building fully meets British standards document B. 

Elements of passive fire protection, such as fire-resistant doors and glazing, will undergo a thorough inspection to ensure they meet fire safety regulations. A key objective of these assessments is to identify any openings or weaknesses in your fire compartmentation, as these could compromise the overall safety of your property.

Our compartmentation surveys offer a thorough evaluation of your building’s fire containment measures. After completing the assessment, our experts will provide detailed recommendations for any necessary upgrades or repairs to enhance fire resistance and compliance. Take advantage of the expertise of our team and undertake a cost effective compartmentation survey in London and give yourself peace of mind that both you and your property remain well protected against the threat of fire.
