Comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments

Our fire risk assessments for Derbyshire properties follow the PAS 79 framework and are built around a detailed, practical evaluation of your building. We assess escape routes, equipment, hazards, people at risk, fire safety management, and the effectiveness of existing controls.

You’ll receive a photographic report that highlights priorities clearly, helping you take the right steps to ensure legal compliance and maintain a safe environment for staff, visitors, and residents.

We create fire strategies for a wide range of building types throughout Derbyshire, including:

Each strategy outlines how the building should be designed, managed, and maintained from a fire safety perspective, covering evacuation, compartmentation, detection systems, and fire protection requirements.

We provide occupancy load calculations using recognised fire safety principles, ensuring your premises comply with Approved Document B and operate within safe limits.

About Derbyshire

Derbyshire is a varied and geographically significant county, neighbouring Staffordshire, home to a diverse mix of businesses ranging from advanced manufacturing and engineering firms to logistics centres, hospitality venues, retail parks, scientific facilities, and rural enterprises.

With a population of over 1 million, and key urban areas such as Derby, Chesterfield, Glossop, Ilkeston, and Buxton, the county combines historic industry with modern commercial growth.

Major transport routes—including the M1, A38, and A50—make Derbyshire a strategic location for distribution and industrial operations. This creates a strong need for robust fire risk management, emergency lighting systems, and electrical safety controls to ensure business continuity and protect high-risk environments.

Fire safety guidance within the county is supported by Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, which operates stations across Derby, Chesterfield, Matlock, Glossop, Long Eaton, and other towns. Their Business Safety team provides general advice on legislation, enforcement, and evacuation planning.

However, responsibility for risk assessments, fire door checks, electrical testing, and compliance documentation remains firmly with the business or responsible person—making specialist support essential.

Ensure your Derbyshire premises are compliant, safe, and fully protected.
