Fire risk assessments in Dover
As one of the largest and most important ports in the UK, Dover is a hub for both trade and transport, ferrying thousands of people to France and beyond. As a result, the need for comprehensive fire safety is paramount—not just to protect goods, but also tourists, trucks and commuters in the port and beyond.
Protecting Dover’s unique mix of historic buildings, transport infrastructure, and urban regeneration requires extensive fire safety knowledge and experience. Our team of fire risk assessors is ideally positioned to provide this, with experience conducting thorough fire risk assessments in Dover and across the South East.
The large number of hotels, B&Bs and other stopovers in Canterbury means that 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.
