Why fire risk in Portsmouth is what it is
Portsmouth is the only island city in the UK, built on Portsea Island, and the most densely populated city in the country outside London. That density is the whole story for fire safety here: tightly packed Victorian and Edwardian terraces, a very high proportion of flat conversions and HMOs, and escape routes that share party walls with their neighbours.

What Hampshire clients say
“The resulting report was crystal clear, remarkably thorough, and exceptionally professional.”
“Matt was friendly and approachable and the process was much more responsive and less stressful than I have found with other companies in recent years.”
“Matt offers a genuinely first class service. He was available at short notice, communicated clearly and explained everything in very straightforward terms. He went above and beyond in tailoring the service to our needs and providing additional material as required. Highly recommended.”
