“Working with Stewart and Carmel has been outstanding. They guided us through our fire strategy with real dedication. Stewart was exceptional from the start, always finding solutions where others only saw problems. He stayed positive, proactive, and committed through every challenge. Carmel was equally supportive. They are skilled, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to deal with. I would recommend them as a first choice.”

“We hired Stewart Adamson to carry out a fire risk assessment for our small business office and were thoroughly impressed. He was professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. His detailed report was easy to follow, with practical recommendations we could implement quickly. Stewart was also friendly, punctual, and genuinely cared about our safety. Highly recommended for any small business needing reliable fire safety advice.”

“Stew Adamson approach to the fire risk assessment was refreshing taking the time to talk to the business owner to understand the use of the building first. Pragmatic and professional approach giving constructive but useful feedback and comments which I am pleased to say all points have been actioned upon. Would definitely recommend as honest company.”

Advice & supportHave a question regarding the safety of a building? We can help with any fire safety query.
Our people have extensive experience with fire safety enforcement and can advise and support your engagement with regulators. We respond quickly to your needs.
Discuss this serviceHow it works
No mystery, no disruption you didn’t expect. Four steps, and you always know what happens next.
Tell us about your building and what’s prompting the assessment: a deadline, an enforcement notice, an insurer or lease requirement, or a change of use. We respond within 24 hours.
We get to know the building and the people who use it, not just a checklist. How it’s actually used, how it’s built, and where the real risk sits.
You receive a clear, prioritised and defensible report: proportionate actions ranked by risk, written to stand up to the enforcing authority, your insurer and building control.
We stay available to explain findings, support your engagement with regulators, and help you act on the recommendations at a sensible pace.

Lime markers show our busiest areas, from Southampton and the South Coast up to London, plus the central Scotland belt.
If you’re responsible for non-domestic premises or the common parts of a multi-occupied residential building, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. Where you have five or more employees, it must be recorded. We help you meet that duty proportionately.
We respond to every enquiry within 24 hours, and we can move quickly on urgent cases such as an enforcement notice or an insurer or completion deadline. Where the situation has demanded it, we’ve completed a site visit, advice and report inside 24 hours.
No. We give proportionate, defensible advice that balances the safety of people and the building against cost and how the building is used. Several clients came to us precisely because they wanted clear direction, not a list of headline-grabbing capital works.
