Unfortunately there is a risk that you could employ the services of someone with limited knowledge and understanding of fire and fire safety.
Below are some of the guidelines from the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) that give assistance to this:
We are assessed, accredited and listed on the registers of the Institute of Fire Engineers and the Institute of Fire Safety Managers
We're rated 5 stars on Google
"This was the first I have used Cardan Fire. I have to say that this is one the best FRA reports that I have had back. EXTREMELY easy to read and understand, very well presented and a friendly and professional service too. I have no hesitation in recommending Cardan Fire." - Daniells Harrison
"Stuart offers a very professional service and is a good communicator. We would recommend his services and use him again for any of the buildings we look after, without hesitation" - Kevin Magee
In doing so you are selecting a competent person to carry out a fire risk assessment.
All of our premises fire risk assessments are produced professionally, in colour, with photographs. The majority of our reports are based on the PAS79 format, which is the Publicly Available Specification format used by the industry and are written in simple non-jargon plain English to assist you to understand its content. You will also receive a summary of the ‘significant findings’ in the form of an action plan for you to progress (with our recommendations) and to ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Events and some very small simple premises will receive reports appropriate for the size of the event/building.
Our primary method of communication is by email, which is normally responded to on the same working day at cardanfire@gmail.com
