At Hicksfield, we go beyond a standard inspection by integrating FRAEW into a wider fire safety strategy.

Our process includes:

1. Detailed External Wall Review

• Cladding systems and insulation materials

• Balconies, attachments, and façade features

• Fire stopping and cavity barriers

2. Risk-Based Assessment (PAS 9980)

• Evaluation of fire spread potential

• Consideration of building height, occupancy, and use

• Alignment with overall fire risk assessment

3. Intrusive & Non-Intrusive Investigation

• Where required, opening-up works to inspect hidden elements

• Photographic evidence and technical documentation

4. Clear, Actionable Reporting

• Risk rating and justification

• Recommendations for remedial works (if needed)

• Guidance for ongoing compliance

The Hicksfield Difference

Unlike fragmented services, Hicksfield delivers a fully coordinated fire safety solution, combining:

• Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)

• Compartmentation surveys

• FRAEW external wall appraisals

This integrated approach ensures that all findings align—eliminating gaps, duplication, and conflicting advice, while strengthening compliance and life safety assurance.
