Firntec Ltd

Firntec is a leading consultancy in building compliance and surveying. We work with landlords, organisations and UK businesses to ensure their buildings are compliant, and we carry out fire risk assessments and building surveys across housing, healthcare, education and commercial sectors.

Head office is in Plymouth, with further offices across the UK. Fire Safety Surveying covers FRAs, FRAEWs, EWS1 forms, fire door inspections and compartmentation surveys.

Services

• Fire risk assessments: a written assessment of fire hazards and precautions, required for most non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
• Health and safety consultancy: ongoing health and safety advice, policies, risk assessments and competent person support.
• Fire door inspections: checking fire doors, frames, seals, closers and gaps so they hold back fire and smoke as designed.

Who they work with

• Schools and education
• Healthcare
• Retail and hospitality

Questions worth asking before you hire

• For fire risk assessments and fire door work, ask whether the assessor is on a recognised register (such as IFSM, IFE or a third-party certification scheme like BAFE SP205 or FIRAS) and how long reports take to turn around.
• For health and safety support, ask about the consultant’s qualifications (for example NEBOSH or Chartered IOSH membership) and whether they are on the OSHCR register.
