Serving properties across Berkshire including:

Berkshire is a county of contrasts: the bustling Thames Valley with its high-tech industries and business parks, the historic royal town of Windsor, the university city of Reading, and the rural landscapes of the North Wessex Downs. Each area presents unique fire safety challenges.

Reading – Student HMOs & Urban Regeneration — Reading has a large student population from the University of Reading and other institutions. HMOs are concentrated in areas like the Oxford Road, Earley, and the town centre. Fire risk assessments must address fire doors, interlinked alarms, and means of escape. The town centre also features modern high-rise apartments and mixed-use developments, requiring assessments that consider evacuation strategies, sprinklers, and compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022. For HMOs, a specialist HMO fire risk assessment is essential.

Thames Valley – Business Parks & Tech Hubs — Slough Trading Estate, Bracknell, and Maidenhead host major technology, pharmaceutical, and logistics companies. High-risk industrial and commercial premises require assessments covering fire suppression, hazardous materials, and business continuity. Offices and warehouses may need a warehouse fire risk assessment.

Windsor & Heritage Tourism — Windsor Castle, Legoland Windsor, and the surrounding area attract millions of tourists annually. Hotels, B&Bs, and historic buildings require fire risk assessments that respect heritage while ensuring guest safety. Many properties are listed and have traditional construction, demanding careful planning for fire detection and suppression. For hotels and guest accommodation, a detailed hotel fire risk assessment is required.

Newbury & Rural Berkshire — Newbury, Hungerford, and the rural villages of the North Wessex Downs feature country houses, farms, and rural businesses. Remote locations and limited fire service access can impact fire safety planning. Holiday cottages and rural event venues need up-to-date assessments.

Ascot & Racecourse Events — Ascot Racecourse and other large-event venues require robust fire safety strategies for large crowds, seasonal events, and complex site layouts.

If your property includes vulnerable occupants, a specialist care home fire risk assessment may be required.
