Client testimonial · August 2026“We recently engaged Matt to carry out a fire risk assessment on one of our HMOs in Portsmouth. He was thorough, professional, and explained everything clearly without the jargon. With a council deadline looming, he turned the report around quickly and provided practical, easy-to-follow recommendations. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and look forward to working with Matt again on future projects.”

Frequently asked questions.
Do I legally need a fire risk assessment?
Almost certainly yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, any business premises or shared/rented housing must have a current fire risk assessment, and where five or more people are employed it must be recorded in writing. If you run a business, let an HMO, or are responsible for communal areas, the duty applies to you.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost?
Your fixed price shows in the calculator: business premises by internal staircases and what's on site, HMOs by rented rooms, holiday lets by bedrooms, flats' communal areas by the number of flats — all from £249. No VAT, no travel charge. Unusual properties I price individually.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's no payment to book. I carry out the visit, send you a draft report, and only release the signed, finalised report once you're happy and the invoice is settled.
What standards do you assess to?
Business premises and holiday lets to PAS 79-1:2020; HMOs, shared housing and the communal areas of flats to BS 9792:2025, with the LACORS guide where it applies. Every report carries findings, risk ratings and a prioritised action plan.
How quickly can you visit and turn the report around?
Pick a real date and time online — the calendar shows what's free across Hampshire and Dorset. The draft report comes to you within five working days of the visit.
