Fire safety services in Reigate
Every check, survey and training session available through this site is listed here. Each one links to a page that explains what the specialist firm does, who needs it, and what happens on the day.
Assessments for homes, workplaces and shared housing
A fire risk assessment is the starting point for any building. The specialist firm examines escape routes, ignition sources and the people who use the space, then writes a report setting out what needs attention. Separate assessments exist for standard buildings and for houses in multiple occupation, where landlords carry specific legal duties.
Find out what the assessment involves for homes and offices, or read about the HMO version if you rent out rooms to unrelated tenants. Both pages explain what the specialist looks for and how long the visit takes.
If you are unsure whether your building needs one, the responsible person guide sets out who holds the duty. Arranging a visit is straightforward once you know which category your home or workplace falls into.
Doors, walls and the spread of fire
Compartmentation stops fire and smoke moving between rooms. A [compartmentation survey](/checks-and-training/compartmentation-survey-reigate) checks walls, floors, ceilings and the gaps around pipes or cables. Where those barriers fail, fire travels fast. Fire doors are part of the same system. Even a door that shuts properly can fail if the intumescent strips are missing or painted over. For larger or more complex buildings, a [fire strategy](/checks-and-training/fire-strategy-reigate) document ties these elements together. It maps the whole approach to containment and escape, showing how the structure, the doors and the alarms work as one system.
Getting people out safely
An evacuation plan sets out the route from every room to a place of safety. It accounts for visitors, shift workers and anyone who might need extra help getting out. The specialist firm drafts plans based on the actual layout of the building rather than generic templates.
Training makes the plan work. Fire safety awareness sessions cover alarm signals, exit locations and the basic steps staff should follow when they hear the bell. For those given a specific role during an evacuation, fire warden training covers sweep procedures, headcounts and how to manage a calm exit under pressure.
Both types of training take place at your location. Read the individual pages to see what each session covers and how long the specialist firm typically spends on site.
Paperwork, policy and ongoing duties
Some organisations need written proof of their approach to fire safety. A fire safety policy document records the rules, responsibilities and procedures in one place. Health and safety reports cover broader risks but often sit alongside fire-specific paperwork.
If running these duties feels like too much, a nominated person service assigns someone to handle the day-to-day requirements on behalf of the business. That person deals with reviews, record keeping and liaison with the specialist firm.
Equipment matters too. Advice on fire extinguisher testing covers what needs checking, how often, and what records to keep so you can show compliance if asked. Each of these pages explains the scope of the work and what you receive at the end.
