Request an assessment

How it works

What happens during a fire risk assessment visit

You send an enquiry about your home. A specialist firm picks it up, visits the building, records what they find and leaves you with a written plan. Here is how that process works from start to finish.

What changes the scope of the work

Every home in Maidstone is built differently, occupied differently and ages differently. The specialist firm shapes the visit around those facts before any work begins.

Size and layout of the home
A larger floor plan or multiple storeys means more rooms to check and more escape routes to map out.
Type of occupancy
Shared homes like HMOs need closer attention to communal areas, locked doors and individual tenant habits.
Age and construction method
Older buildings often have hidden voids, altered walls or materials that require specific compartmentation checks.
The service requested
A fire door inspection looks at different things than a full strategy report, so the time on site varies.

The specialist explains the cost of the particular job before anything is agreed.

What the specialist leaves behind

After the visit, the specialist firm writes down what they saw, what it means for the home and what needs doing. You receive a record based on evidence gathered on site.

  • Written assessment report

    A document listing hazards found in the home, who might be harmed and what steps reduce the risk.

  • Action plan with priorities

    Clear instructions on what to fix first, what can wait and how to maintain safety over time.

  • Floor plan with escape routes

    A drawing of the home showing exits, assembly points and where alarms or extinguishers sit.

  • Compliance record

    Proof that the home meets current fire safety regulations, kept for council checks or insurance needs.

These details are passed to a specialist, as the privacy page describes.

The privacy notice tells you more about what happens to the details you send, and you remain free to approach other firms for quotes. The specialist may pay M Aids Tonefire once your enquiry is passed on to them, and it goes to just one independent fire safety firm, free of charge to you.
