About Clear Fire Compliance
Clear Fire Compliance is an independent fire risk assessment consultancy covering Hampshire and Dorset. Every assessment is carried out personally by Matt McAllen — an Associate of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (AIFSM) and a chartered safety professional (CMIOSH) — from the first site visit to the final report. No call centre, no subcontractors, and nothing to sell you except the assessment itself.
Who carries out your assessment
Your assessment is done by Matt McAllen, in person — not handed to whoever's free.
Matt holds Associate membership of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (AIFSM) — the fire-specific professional grade, awarded after the Institute reviewed his fire risk assessment qualifications, experience and sample assessments — together with Chartered membership of IOSH (CMIOSH) and the Level 3 Certificate in Fire Risk Assessment. AIFSM is the fire-safety credential; CMIOSH is the senior chartered grade in occupational safety and health, held to a code of conduct and continuing professional development.
Matt runs Clear Fire Compliance full-time — every assessment, report and follow-up is his own work. That matters: the assessment you get is informed by current, full-time practitioner work — not occasional weekend jobs. Every Clear Fire Compliance assessment is carried out by Matt himself.
Why independence matters
A lot of fire-safety firms also sell alarms, extinguishers, fire doors or remedial works. When the company writing your assessment also profits from what it recommends, the recommendations aren't neutral.
Clear Fire Compliance sells one thing: the assessment. No products, no commissions, no remedial-work upsell. What goes in your report is what your premises genuinely needs to be compliant and safe — nothing added to sell you something later.
How I work
- Fixed, transparent pricing from £249. You see the price before you commit — no "we'll quote after a survey."
- No upfront payment. I assess the premises, send a draft report after the visit, and release the finalised report once the invoice is settled. You're never paying before you've seen the work.
- 100% approval guarantee. If your assessment doesn't pass muster with your enforcing authority on the work I've covered, I put it right.
- 12 months' telephone support. Questions after the report? You've got a year of phone support included — to the person who actually did the assessment.
The standards I work to
Commercial premises are assessed to PAS 79-1:2020; HMOs to BS 9792:2025, with reference to the LACORS housing fire-safety guidance. Everything sits under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 — the law that requires a suitable and sufficient assessment — and the recording duty strengthened by the Building Safety Act 2022.
Where I work
Hampshire and Dorset — across the Hampshire & Isle of Wight and Dorset & Wiltshire fire service areas. Deliberately local, with no mileage charges anywhere in the two counties.
About — your questions
Is it really just one person?
Yes. Matt carries out every assessment personally — you deal with the same person from enquiry to finished report, and for 12 months afterward.
Are you genuinely independent?
Yes. No products, no commissions, no remedial-work upsell. The assessment is the whole service.
What qualifies you to do this?
Associate membership of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (AIFSM) — fire qualifications and sample assessments reviewed by the Institute — plus Chartered membership of IOSH (CMIOSH) and the Level 3 Certificate in Fire Risk Assessment.
Why no upfront payment?
Because you shouldn't have to pay before you've seen the work. You get a draft after the visit; the finalised report follows once the invoice is settled.
Ready when you are.
Fixed fire risk assessments from £249, no upfront payment.
