Why choose Fortis?
At Fortis, we provide professional, compliant fire risk assessments for businesses across Birmingham and the surrounding areas, including the wider West Midlands. Fire safety isn’t just a box-ticking exercise for us — it’s a discipline we know inside out, because we’ve lived it from the enforcing side.
Our key difference? Every fire risk assessment is carried out by former fire service inspecting and enforcing officers.
Our Experience Is Your Advantage
Unlike many fire risk assessment companies, our assessors aren’t general consultants trained from a handbook. They are ex-fire service officers who previously enforced fire safety legislation, carried out inspections, and worked directly with enforcing authorities.
We understand how fire authorities interpret the law
We know what inspectors look for during audits
We assess risk based on real enforcement experience, not theory
We apply practical, proportionate solutions, not over-specification
We don’t guess what an inspector might say — we already speak their language.
We Speak to the Fire Service on Your Behalf
Fire safety can feel intimidating, especially when dealing with enforcing authorities. This is where our background really counts.
If required, we can liaise directly with the fire service on your behalf, translating technical fire safety requirements into clear, actionable steps for your business — and explaining your arrangements clearly and confidently to inspectors.
Because we’ve been on both sides of the table, we know how to keep conversations constructive, compliant, and stress-free.
