Our Services
Fire Risk Assessment
Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, fire safety law in Scotland was modernised and consolidated into a risk-based framework.
This legislation places a legal duty on employers and anyone else who has control of premises (known as dutyholders) to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to identify potential fire hazards, evaluate the risk of harm to occupants, and implement suitable fire safety measures to reduce the likelihood of fire and protect life.

What our clients say
Testimonials
" We needed to update our Fire Risk Assessment and the team at HESTIA came highly recommended. A mutually convenient time was easily agreed and our consultant arrived promptly at the agreed time. He went through all the legalities explaining everything in a way that was completely understandable. He delivered the new documents within a few days and spent time going through it with me and my manager. I would not hesitate to recommend HESTIA. "
Vicki
Grouse and Claret restaurant, Kinross" We were delighted with the Fire Risk Assessment service from HESTIA. The whole process, from initial arrangements through to the final summary of our needs, was really smooth. On completion, we were provided with a comprehensive and clear set of action points to work with and to also use as a basis for our in-house training and we can’t fault the value for money offered. An excellent business to deal with. "
Clark
SmarterTax, Kirkcaldy" We recently took ownership of the Winter Garden in Rothesay. Following a fire risk assessment we were required to undertake a fire door survey and we instructed HESTIA to do this on our behalf. We were very impressed by their thorough but pragmatic approach to this and the resultant report is comprehensive and easy to understand. The use of photos and straightforward categorisation of necessary work was particularly useful. "
