Fire Engineering Consultants

Chartered Fire Engineering Consultancy

Fire Safety Services is a chartered independent fire engineering consultancy providing fire safety engineering consultants to architects, developers, principal designers, building owners and responsible persons across the UK. As independent fire consulting engineers we do not install, manufacture or supply fire safety products — our advice is always impartial.

Our fire design consultants are chartered engineers with professional membership of the Institution of Fire Engineers. All fire engineering consultancy work is undertaken or directly overseen by a chartered engineer, providing the level of assurance required by planning authorities, building control bodies and the Building Safety Regulator.

Independent
No conflicts of interest

We do not sell, install or specify fire products. Our fire engineering advice is wholly independent, which is why contractors, architects and developers appoint us as their fire consulting engineers.

Chartered
IFE and IMechE membership

Our fire safety engineering consultants hold professional membership of the Institution of Fire Engineers and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers — the highest engineering qualifications in the field.

UK Wide
London and nationwide

Based in London with regional offices covering Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow. Our fire engineering consultancy serves clients across England, Wales and Scotland.

What Our Fire Engineering Consultants Do

Fire Strategy Reports

Our fire engineering consultants produce fire strategy reports for planning, building control and BSR gateway submissions. We cover means of escape, compartmentation, structural fire protection, detection, suppression and firefighting access.

Performance-Based Fire Engineering

Where prescriptive codes cannot be applied, our fire safety engineering consultancy provides performance-based solutions using BS 7974 — fire modelling, evacuation analysis, and bespoke design justifications accepted by building control and the BSR.

Planning Fire Statements

Gateway 1 fire statements, London Plan D12a fire statements, and pre-planning fire safety advice for development teams at RIBA Stage 2.

Building Safety Case Support

Fire engineering input for higher-risk building safety cases, including Gateway 2 and Gateway 3 submissions, key building information, and ongoing safety case maintenance for BSR-registered buildings.

EWS1 and FRAEW Assessments

External wall fire risk evaluations in line with PAS 9980, EWS1 assessments, and cladding remediation fire engineering for residential buildings.

Expert Advisory and Peer Review

Independent peer review of fire strategies, expert witness support, and fire safety advisory for occupied buildings under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What do fire safety engineers do?
Chartered fire safety engineers design, analyse, and manage fire safety strategies for buildings. They develop life safety strategies, assess compliance, produce fire strategies and specifications, support planning and building control submissions, and provide independent advice.
When should a fire engineer be appointed?
Ideally at RIBA Stage 0 or 1. Early appointment establishes fire safety objectives before design begins, reducing costly changes later.
What is performance-based fire engineering?
An approach that demonstrates fire safety compliance through analysis and modelling rather than prescriptive guidance. Used for buildings where prescriptive solutions cannot be applied or would unnecessarily constrain design.
Are your engineers chartered?
Yes. IFE membership and other relevant chartered engineering body membership. Up to £5M professional indemnity insurance.
