What we do in Sunderland

Fire risk assessments

A lot of our Sunderland work is retail and small commercial premises, plus landlords with converted terraces. We assess the building as it's actually used and set out a priority list you can work through.

  • Full walk-round of the premises
  • Photographed findings
  • Prioritised action plan
  • Review reminder each year

Extinguishers & equipment

Annual extinguisher servicing for shops, offices and industrial units across Sunderland, with a free survey first so you only buy what the building actually needs.

  • Free on-site survey
  • Supply and installation
  • Annual BS 5306-3 servicing
  • Certificates for your logbook

Fire door inspections

Blocks of flats and converted houses across Sunderland make up most of our door inspections here. Every door gets a reference, a pass or fail, and a photograph of any defect.

  • Gaps, seals and hinges
  • Closers, latches and glazing
  • Pass / fail schedule per door
  • Written for your contractor

Sunderland fire safety questions

How quickly can you get to Sunderland?

Sunderland is well within our usual working patch, so most jobs are booked within a few days and urgent work often the same week. Evening and weekend appointments are available if daytime access is difficult.

Who enforces fire safety in Sunderland?

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority for the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and Sunderland City Council handles housing and HMO licensing standards. Our reports are written so they satisfy both.

Do you do the remedial work as well?

No. We inspect, assess and report. We don't fit doors or carry out building work, so nothing in your report is there to sell you something. We're happy to explain the findings to whoever does the work.

What does it cost?

Price depends on the size and type of the premises. Tell us what and where the building is and we'll give you a fixed price before we visit. No charge for the quote.
