Fire safety services in Croydon
Fire risk assessments, fire door surveys, evacuation plans and retrospective fire strategies for blocks, conversions, HMOs and businesses across Croydon, Thornton Heath, Purley, South Norwood and the rest of Croydon.
The buildings we see most in Croydon
Croydon has more tall residential buildings than any other outer London borough, including a large number of 1960s and 1970s towers and several office-to-residential permitted development conversions where the original fire strategy no longer matches how the building is used.
Whatever the building, the duty is the same: the Responsible Person must make and maintain a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk from fire. We tell you what actually applies to yours, even when that is less than you expected.
Local visits, no travel charge
Site visits across Croydon usually within 5 to 7 days, and sooner where there is an enforcement deadline.
One point of contact
James carries out the visit and writes the report. You are not passed between a surveyor and an account manager.
Fixed price, agreed first
The quote is fixed before any work starts. No variations unless you ask for extra work.
Assessment only
We do not carry out the remedial work we recommend, so there is no incentive to find a problem that isn’t there.

Fire safety enforcement in Croydon
Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order here sits with London Fire Brigade, which audits premises and communal areas and can issue informal notification letters, enforcement notices or, in serious cases, prohibition notices restricting use of the building.
The council’s housing team also has powers over hazards in residential property under the Housing Act 2004, and licences HMOs in the area. If you have received correspondence from either, send it to us with your quote request and we will work to the deadline in it.
Information for guidance only. We are not affiliated with London Fire Brigade or Croydon Council.
