How it works

What happens during a fire risk assessment in Chelmsford

Send a short description of your home and what worries you. There is no charge for the enquiry, and nothing to commit to until the specialist firm explains exactly what they will do.

What shapes the work involved

Every home is built differently and used differently. The specialist firm assesses the building before any work begins, because the layout and condition dictate the effort required.

Worker inspecting fire extinguishers in a corridor
Size and layout
A larger home with more rooms, corridors and floors takes longer to examine than a small flat.
Type of assessment
A compartmentation survey checks hidden voids and walls, which requires different access than a standard inspection.
Age of the building
Older homes often have altered layouts and mixed materials that need closer examination by the specialist.
Current condition
Worn door seals or blocked escape routes mean the specialist must spend additional time recording faults and advising on remedies.

The specialist explains the full cost of the particular job before anything is agreed.
