Mon-Fri: 7am - 6pm
Creating a safe learning environment is essential for every school, academy, and educational facility. We provide specialist school fire risk assessments across Exeter, Plymouth, and the wider Devon area, helping schools stay fully compliant with UK fire safety regulations.
Whether you manage a primary school, secondary school, academy trust, college, or SEND facility, our qualified assessors deliver clear, practical fire safety guidance designed for education settings.
