  • Fire Risk Assessment

    Every business needs a current assessment. A fire risk assessment in North Cheam examines ignition sources, fuel loads and the people inside the building. If you run a shop unit and wonder whether a business this size needs a written fire strategy, the assessment often reveals the answer by identifying gaps that only a full strategy can resolve. The specialist produces a documented record showing what needs attention and what already works, forming the basis for any further fire safety planning.

  • Compartmentation Survey

    Post-war semi-detached housing estates around North Cheam often lack adequate fire-stopping within shared roof voids. Commercial premises built during the same period carry similar hidden problems. A compartmentation survey checks walls, floors and ceilings to confirm they will hold back smoke and flames long enough for everyone to leave. The specialist inspects cavities, service penetrations and partition joints, then reports on any breaches so you know exactly where fire could spread unseen through the structure.

How a fire strategy is produced

  1. 1

    Initial enquiry

    You describe the building, its use and any deadlines. The details determine which specialist takes the work.

  2. 2

    Site visit

    The specialist walks through the premises, measuring routes and checking construction. Retail units stay open during this survey.

  3. 3

    Draft report

    The specialist writes the strategy document, detailing escape provisions, detection systems and structural fire resistance.

  4. 4

    Review and issue

    You receive the final report. If it shows current escape routes are not adequate, it specifies the changes required.

Arrange a fire strategy for your North Cheam premises

A fire strategy is different from the fire risk assessment you already have. It provides the technical detail building control asks for before signing off commercial work.
