Fire Risk Assessment

(Including External Walls)

A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is an indispensable process for ensuring the safety of building occupants. It involves a systematic identification of potential fire hazards within a building and the implementation of effective measures to minimize those risks. A comprehensive FRA should always include a detailed assessment of the building’s external walls.

Regular fire risk assessments are essential for maintaining a safe environment for building occupants. By proactively identifying and mitigating fire hazards, FRAs can significantly reduce the risk of fire outbreaks and improve overall building safety.

Fire Combustibility Inspections & Intrusive External Wall Surveys

Fire combustibility inspections are a crucial component of a comprehensive fire risk assessment, particularly for external walls. Our qualified professionals utilize state-of-the-art equipment to determine the combustibility of materials used in the cladding system with precision.

In some instances, a more in-depth intrusive survey may be necessary to comprehensively assess the fire safety of an external wall system. This intrusive survey may involve removing samples of cladding materials for laboratory testing or accessing hidden cavities within the wall for a more thorough examination.

External Wall Fire Safety Assessment

At EWS1 Surveyors Limited, our FRAs incorporate a thorough external wall fire safety assessment. This assessment typically involves a meticulous visual inspection of the external wall system for any signs of damage or deterioration. The assessment also includes evaluating the type and combustibility of materials used in the cladding system, along with a comprehensive analysis of fire breaks and compartmentation within the external wall system.
