What the Fire Risk Assessment Essex package covers

Site Survey

We begin where sparks hide. Kitchens in Lakeside shops, battery charging corners in Harlow gyms, dusty lofts above Colchester antiques. Every ignition point gains a photo and pin on your plan. We weigh fuel loads too. Cardboard stock in Basildon outlets, upholstered seating in Southend arcades, archive paper in Brentwood offices all matter.

Escape routes get timed at a calm walk. If door frames snag or trolleys block corners, we flag it.

Door gaps must stay under three millimetres. Intumescent seals cannot be painted shut. Self closers need to latch every time. We sample at least ten per cent of flat front doors in large Thurrock blocks and every lobby door in smaller Epping offices. Above the ceiling we follow partitions to stop smoke sneaking from plant room to escape route.

Fire Alarm Inspection

Pressing the test button is not enough. We pole-test detectors across corridors, server rooms, and caretaker flats. Mains supply is isolated to prove that standby batteries last a full day plus thirty minutes of ringing. We carry a sound meter that shows sixty-five decibels near desks and seventy-five at pillows in B&B guest rooms. The panel printout comes with plain words, not just codes.

Emergency Lighting Testing

A three hour discharge exposes fittings that fade after ten minutes. Lux readings catch dark turns on Maldon stairwells and long corridors in Dunton lodges. Each light earns a numbered tag so the caretaker knows exactly what to check next month.

Risk Evaluation & Action Plan

Red tasks need action inside seven days. Think wedged exits or missing detectors over fryers.
Amber tasks carry thirty days, such as expired extinguishers or dim exit signs.
Green tasks sit on a ninety-day timeline, maybe swapping old signage for modern photo-luminescent plates.

Cost bands appear under two hundred fifty, two fifty to nine ninety nine, and one thousand plus. Finance teams approve quicker when numbers are clear.

Digital Compliance Pack

Paper folders disappear just before audits. Our cloud bundle stores the assessment, alarm certificate, lighting log, and door schedule, each defect linked to photos. Editable templates arrive prefilled so staff only tick and sign. Share links keep landlords, insurers, and Essex County Fire and Rescue in the loop without email clutter.
