Whilst we survey building conditions and any structural aspects that we can see visually on a HRRB we do not specialise in Fire Risk Assessments and can appoint a Fire Risk Officer/Specialist to attend the site for a separate survey assessment and further investigations. In and obvious fire risk situation such as communal doors being blocked or an item blocking fire/exits/vandalised apparatus we will report these matters to the relevant parties involved. Where appropriate in any HRRB we will appoint or recommend a structural engineer if we see a potential issue involving the buildings fabric/material make up, but expressly state we are not responsible for any action needed to resolve any subsequent issues.
