FRACS Fire Risk Assessments in London

When Excel Fire began, we knew it would be with a view to being the best. Which is why we take so much pride in all of those acronyms you see on our website – particularly FRACS.  We carry out a large number of FRACS fire risk assessments in London – but what does that really mean?

What is FRACS?

From the website itself: “The FRACS scheme is for fire risk assessors and certifies the competence of individuals and companies carrying out fire risk assessments.” FRACS is a nationally recognised certificate, one which uses a standardised approach to competency. This gives those in need of fire safety advice a trusted name to look to when validating suppliers.

We’ve created an efficient, highly effective process for conducting FRAs. Here’s the breakdown of what that looks like:

Step 1: Consultation

The first and arguably most important part of our process is all about fact-finding. We’ll find a time to get together at your convenience to ask questions about the property being assessed. These often include history of the building itself, structural questions, and we will take a look at previous fire safety records.

We’ll also want to know about any specific concerns or complaints that you, or a resident/employee, have brought up. All of this will be during the consultation piece of your fire risk assessment process.

Step 2: Assessment

Our qualified fire risk assessor (multiple, if needed) will conduct an in-depth and thorough fire risk assessment, to the spec of the Type you require. For reference:

  • Type 1 – common parts only, non-destructive
  • Type 2 – common parts only, destructive
  • Type 3 – common parts and flats, non-destructive
  • Type 4 – common parts and flats, destructive

We look further than face value and investigate everything carefully. During a FRACS fire risk assessment, we conduct ourselves with respect for the ultimate goal at the forefront of our minds: to save lives and reduce the damage done to our clients’ properties. It’s not just a box-ticking exercise (although rest assured, all required boxes will be ticked nonetheless!).

Step 3: Reporting

The final piece of the puzzle comes down to getting this key information into your hands. We put together a detailed report for every fire risk assessment we conduct, whether we’re working on one building for you or multiple. You’ll receive an in-depth look at what could be done, what should be done, and what needs to be done.

Whatever you need to stay compliant and safe, it’ll be in this doc. A digestible way for us to assess the risks while also consulting with and educating the amazing clients we work with.
