What changes the price
The band above is a guide. What a firm actually quotes for fire risk assessment turns on a handful of things about the building:
- floor area and number of storeys
- whether anyone sleeps on the premises
- number and complexity of escape routes
- how the building is used and by how many people
- age of the building and whether it has been altered
How the enquiry works
- You send the details of the building on this page.
- We pass them to a fire safety firm working in that area.
- That firm contacts you directly and quotes its own price.
- You deal with them from there. We take no part in the work.
