Fire risk assessments in Folkestone
Folkestone’s quaint high street and ongoing regeneration have made it a destination for tourists and homeowners alike. The resulting spike in growth has led to an influx of new businesses and new buildings—all of which require fire risk assessments to ensure the safety of staff and customers.
Whether you’re in a new building or an old one, conducting a fire risk assessment is important both to identify hazards and establish effective fire safety policies. Our team of fire risk assessors is ideally positioned to provide this, with experience conducting thorough fire risk assessments in Folkestone and across the South East.
The growing percentage of holiday accommodation in Folkestone means we get frequent requests for fire risk assessments for multi-occupancy buildings. New UK fire safety laws mean flats, holiday lets and other residential buildings require additional protection and measures. Commercial properties are also required to conduct regular fire risk assessments using competent assessors.
Why choose SAMS for your fire risk assessment?
Since the tragic Grenfell Tower fire and subsequent enquiry, the role of fire risk assessments has come under greater scrutiny. As there is currently no required qualification or mandatory register for fire risk assessors, it’s important to ensure that your fire risk assessment is carried out by qualified professionals who adhere to the highest industry standards.
Our fire risk assessors are members of the Fire Protection Association (FPA), and hold multiple prestigious fire safety qualifications, making them qualified to assess even complex premises for fire risks. The FPA is notable for establishing its own national register for fire risk assessors, providing reassurance for anyone seeking a comprehensive and fully compliant fire risk assessment.
