Serving properties across Cambridgeshire including:

Cambridgeshire is a county of contrasts: the world-renowned university city of Cambridge, the cathedral city of Peterborough, the historic Isle of Ely, and the vast agricultural landscape of the Fens. Each area presents unique fire safety challenges.

Cambridge & Student Population — the city has a huge student population, with a high density of HMOs, purpose-built student flats, and historic college buildings. Fire risk assessments must address means of escape, fire door compliance, interlinked alarms, and the specific needs of student occupants. Many HMOs require a specialist HMO fire risk assessment, while larger college sites may need a tailored approach.

Science & Technology Parks — the Cambridge Science Park and surrounding innovation hubs contain laboratories, R&D facilities, and offices with complex fire risks, including hazardous materials and high-value equipment. Assessors must understand the interplay between fire safety and business continuity.

Historic Cathedrals & Heritage Sites — Ely Cathedral, Peterborough Cathedral, and the many medieval churches across the county require fire risk assessments that balance heritage preservation with modern fire detection and suppression. For buildings with overnight accommodation, a hotel fire risk assessment may be needed for any guest facilities.

The Fens & Rural Agriculture — the Fens are a low-lying agricultural area with large arable farms, grain stores, and food processing units. These present high fire loads and require assessments covering storage, machinery, and access for fire services. Remote farms may also need consideration of water supplies.

Market Towns & Mixed-Use — towns like Ely, Huntingdon, St Ives, and Wisbech have historic high streets with shops, restaurants, and residential above. Fire risk assessments must consider means of escape, compartmentation, and fire detection for mixed-use premises.

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