Fire engineering · Infra Fire Safety Ltd
Fire engineering for new and existing buildings.
Independent fire engineering consultancy based in Preston. We support architects, developers and building owners across Lancashire, the North West and the UK with fire strategies, technical notes and design-team advice.
A clear basis for your building’s fire strategy.
A project may need a strategy from the outset, a review of an existing building, or a focused response to a design query. Infra Fire Safety Ltd sets out the scope, assumptions and reasoning so that the design team can understand the proposed approach.
Fire engineering services
- Fire strategy reports: strategies for new buildings and alterations, setting out the fire safety approach alongside the project drawings.
- Retrospective fire strategies: support for existing buildings where a strategy is missing or needs to reflect the available information.
- Technical notes and departures: focused assessments of a specific issue, the supporting evidence and the proposed approach for review.
- Construction-stage support: design-team liaison, responses to building-control queries and site inspection against the agreed strategy.
For everyday and complex projects
Our existing areas of work include residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare and transport buildings, together with nuclear, defence and other regulated environments. The scope of each commission is agreed around the building, project stage and issue to be addressed.
If your immediate concern is the use and management of occupied premises, our fire risk assessment service may be the appropriate starting point. For broader support with an existing report or a project query, see fire safety consultancy.
Preston-based, working nationally
We welcome enquiries from Preston and Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and Cumbria, as well as projects elsewhere in the UK. Let us know the project location and any site-access requirements when you enquire.
Common questions
Can you help with a single building-control query?
Yes. Our technical notes service is intended for a defined issue or departure. Send the relevant comment, drawings and previous advice so we can discuss the scope.
Can you prepare a strategy for an existing building?
Retrospective fire strategies form part of our existing services. We first discuss the records available and the information or site work needed to develop the assessment.
