What your Fire Risk Assessment Kent package covers
Site Survey
We begin where ignition likes to hide. Kitchens in Maidstone offices, battery-charging corners in Bromley CrossFit studios, dusty lofts above Faversham antique shops. We log each ignition source with photos and pin it to your CAD plan. Fuel loads such as soft seating in Tunbridge Wells salons or cardboard stock in Dover warehouses receive equal attention. Escape routes are timed at an easy walking pace to prove everyone can clear the building inside safe limits.
Fire Alarm Inspection
The test is more than a button press. Detectors are pole-tested across corridors, server rooms, and any sleeping areas like on-site caretaker flats. We isolate mains power to prove standby batteries will last twenty-four hours plus a thirty-minute sounder cycle. Sound mapping aims for sixty-five decibels in open offices and seventy-five near pillows in guest rooms. Fault logs print on site and each code is explained in normal language.
Emergency Lighting Testing
A three-hour discharge finds fittings that drop out after ten minutes. Lux levels get measured on half landings, under mezzanine floors, and inside bin stores. Each luminaire receives a unique tag so caretakers know exactly what to check on monthly walk-arounds.
Door gaps must stay under three millimetres. Seals cannot be painted over. Self-closers need to latch every time. We sample a minimum of ten per cent of flat doors in Beckenham blocks and every lobby door in Ashford offices. Above the suspended ceiling we check partitions so smoke cannot track unseen between zones.
Risk grading and action plan
-
Red items need action within seven days. Think blocked final exits behind pallet stacks or a missing detector above a fryer.
-
Amber items carry thirty-day deadlines such as expired extinguishers or dB drop zones in stairwells.
-
Green items sit on a ninety-day horizon like upgrading signage to photo-luminescent plates.
Cost bands appear under two hundred fifty pounds, two fifty to nine ninety nine, and one thousand plus. Finance teams can give approvals in one meeting.
Digital Compliance Pack
Paper folders vanish during audits. Our cloud bundle houses the Fire Risk Assessment, alarm certificate, lighting log, and door schedule, each linked to photographs. Editable templates arrive prefilled so staff only need to tick and sign. Share links keep landlords, insurers, and Kent Fire and Rescue officers in the loop without email chains.
