Every exit clear.
Every risk scored and resolved.
Thermal cameras, floor plans, and 12 years of fire code memorised. We walk your building so your Responsible Person can sign with confidence — not a maybe.
What your assessment covers
Toggle each module to see how a completed FireAudit report reads. Every unchecked item below is a potential liability in your building right now.
Means of Escape
Escape routes, final exits, travel distances, and door hardware compliance.
Final exit door to car park fitted with key-operated deadlock — no thumb-turn or panic bar.
Storage boxes reducing corridor width to 820mm at north stairwell landing.
Fire door self-closer on 2nd floor east wing removed — door propped open with wedge.
Travel distance from open-plan office exceeds 45m to nearest final exit.
Fire Detection & Warning
Detector types, coverage, alarm categories, and maintenance records.
Smoke detector absent from server room — heat detector present but category inadequate.
Manual call point on ground floor obscured by display stand — not visible from 3m.
Last service record for fire alarm panel dated 14 months ago — BS 5839 requires 6-monthly.
Compartmentation
Fire-rated walls, ceilings, service penetrations, and structural fire separation.
Cable penetrations through 60-minute rated wall (server room boundary) left unsealed.
Suspended ceiling tiles removed in roof void — fire barrier integrity compromised.
Signage & Emergency Lighting
Escape route signage, pictograms, emergency luminaire testing and coverage.
Exit sign above 1st floor stairwell door non-illuminated — bulb failed, not replaced.
Emergency lighting duration test overdue by 4 months — annual 3-hour test not recorded.
No directional signage in basement car park — dead-end bay not signed.
Risk-scored findings register
