Professional fire risk assessments across Letchworth

Letchworth Garden City is the world's first garden city, with a unique mix of heritage commercial buildings, modern business parks, and educational establishments. We regularly work across Letchworth and nearby Baldock, providing solutions suited to both modern and period buildings.

Letchworth's Heritage Foundation manages a stock of architecturally protected buildings — including the Spirella Building and Broadway Studios — alongside modern industrial units at Letchworth Gate. The split means we move between conservation-grade installations and standard commercial fit-outs depending on the address.

We carry out fire risk assessments across SG6 for offices, schools, blocks of flats and commercial premises. In Letchworth the common findings are out-of-date assessments, unrecorded alterations and fire doors without maintenance history — all fixable once documented properly. We also account for local compliance pressures in Hertfordshire, including the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation's design code restricts external alterations on protected buildings, so external CCTV and signage placement requires Foundation sign-off in addition to standard planning consent.

If you're comparing quotes for fire risk assessments in Letchworth, we're happy to review an existing specification or survey the site from scratch — there's no charge for either, and no obligation afterwards.
