Pricing questions

Can a fire risk assessment be done by video?

It depends on the building and what needs to be inspected. A competent assessor must decide whether a video walk-round can support a suitable and sufficient assessment. If it cannot, a site visit or further inspection may be needed. We confirm the proposed method before a booking.

Do I need a fire risk assessment for a building with two flats?

Yes, if the flats share any common parts, such as an entrance hall, stairs or landing. The person responsible for the building (usually the freeholder, a residents’ management company or the managing agent) must have a suitable and sufficient assessment of those shared areas.

Is there such a thing as a fire safety certificate?

For flats, the relevant document is normally a current fire risk assessment of the shared areas, rather than an official fire safety certificate. Ask the person requesting it which document they need.

How much does it cost?

The guide starts at £149 for a two-flat building. The final scope and price are confirmed before any booking. Larger or mixed-use buildings need an individual quote.

How quickly can I get a report?

Timing depends on the building, the assessment method and availability. Tell us your deadline in the request so it can be considered when quoting.

What happens if the assessment finds problems?

A completed report should identify findings and actions for the responsible person to consider. The exact scope is agreed before an assessment.

Do you assess HMOs, offices or shops?

The price guide covers flats with shared common parts. Send a request for a mixed-use building and we can assess whether a quote is possible.
