Fire Risk Assessments Across the South West - Fully Compliant - Remedials, Installs, Maintenance
Mon-Fri: 7am - 6pm
Affordable Qualified FRA Surveys with Active Fire, Fire Doors & Compartmentation Included
Why Do You Need a Passive Fire Protection Survey?
At Hicksfield Fire Risk Assessors, we don’t just carry out fire risk assessments — we deliver a complete, joined-up fire safety solution that integrates:
-
Comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)
-
Detailed Fire Compartmentation Surveys
-
Certified Fire Door Inspections
All provided as one structured, seamless package — the only combined service of its kind in the UK.
Why Our Integrated Approach Matters
Most providers treat fire risk assessments, compartmentation, and fire doors as separate services — often delivered by different contractors, at different times, with different reporting formats.
That creates gaps.
Hicksfield removes those gaps.
Our fully integrated package ensures your building is assessed holistically, meaning:
-
Fire strategy aligns with physical compartmentation
-
Fire doors are inspected in the context of real compartment lines
-
Service penetrations and voids are checked against actual risk findings
-
Reporting is unified, clear, and audit-ready
One provider. One coordinated survey. One complete compliance solution.

We are proud to be the only UK provider offering this fully integrated, structured fire risk, compartmentation, and fire door survey package as a single service solution.
📍 Serving Exeter, Devon, Plymouth, Torbay, Cornwall, Somerset, and the wider South West UK.

What’s Included in Our Full-Service Package
🔥 Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
A thorough, legally compliant assessment carried out in accordance with UK fire safety legislation. We identify hazards, evaluate risk, and provide clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your premises.
🧱 Fire Compartmentation Survey
We inspect walls, ceilings, risers, service penetrations, and voids to ensure fire-resistant barriers are intact and compliant. Breaches in compartment lines are identified, documented, and prioritised.
🚪 Fire Door Survey
Every fire door assembly is inspected for compliance — including certification, gaps, seals, closers, hinges, glazing, and ironmongery — ensuring they perform as designed in the event of a fire.
Why Choose the Full Integrated Package?
1️⃣ True Compliance Confidence
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsible persons must ensure fire safety measures are maintained and effective. A standalone FRA cannot confirm whether hidden compartmentation defects or fire door failures exist.
Our integrated package verifies everything works together — not just on paper.
2️⃣ Avoid Costly Re-Surveys
Using separate providers often leads to:
-
Repeated site visits
-
Conflicting recommendations
-
Additional consultancy fees
-
Project delays
With Hicksfield, everything is completed in one coordinated programme.
3️⃣ Clearer Reporting for Audits & Enforcement
Whether dealing with insurers, enforcing authorities, or internal compliance audits, you receive:
-
Unified reporting
-
Photographic evidence
-
Clearly prioritised remedial actions
-
Logical links between risk findings and structural protection
No contradictions. No grey areas.
4️⃣ Better Protection of Life & Property
Compartmentation and fire doors are passive fire protection measures — they buy time. Time for evacuation. Time for firefighting. Time that saves lives.
By combining risk assessment with intrusive compartmentation inspections, we uncover hidden defects that are commonly missed.
5️⃣ Stronger Position with Insurers
Insurers increasingly require evidence of:
-
Compartment integrity
-
Fire door compliance
-
Documented maintenance
Our package demonstrates proactive management, reducing exposure and strengthening your compliance profile.
6️⃣ Reduced Legal & Personal Liability
Responsible Persons, Directors, and Managing Agents have personal accountability under UK legislation.
A fragmented approach increases liability risk.
A coordinated, documented, professional assessment reduces it.
