When a building changes—so should the fire safety plan. A fresh layout or use brings new risks. You need to show that your project is safe before people move in. A conversion fire risk assessment from Embershield gives you that peace of mind.
We help property developers, landlords, architects, contractors, and managing agents across England and Wales. If your project involves a change of use, full conversion, or major rework of a space, we step in early to flag issues before they get built in.

These common projects create new fire safety risks:
Missing fire safety at conversion causes delays, costs, and stress. If you skip this step, you might face problems with sign-off, enforcement orders, or rebuilds. We help you avoid these traps with expert input early enough to fix what matters.
We regularly work with:
We also liaise with building control, planning departments, engineers, and other consultants to keep everyone aligned.
A conversion fire risk assessment looks at where your building is now and where it’s going. We give you the steps to close the gap between current condition and safe occupancy.
We then focus on the proposed changes:
This helps avoid designs that pass on paper but fail in practice.
We ensure people can get out without panic or delay.
We check:
These checks slow fire spread and protect safe zones.
New layouts usually need upgraded alarms. We help review:
The goal is to fit safety features to the real risks, not just reuse old tech.
Your work doesn’t stop at handover. Managing fire safety later is key.
We review:
We provide a clear priority list based on your budget and progress.
Smart times to involve us:
We stay flexible and work around your timeline, whether it’s one visit or multi-phase input.
Yes. A fire risk assessment at the design stage prevents issues that stall progress. It reassures building control, lenders, and insurers and cuts down later changes.
Yes. A conversion risk assessment covers both the current condition and your future plans. It looks for layout, use, and occupancy conflicts that standard reports might miss.
That depends on the project. Smaller jobs may need only one visit. Larger projects with many moving parts benefit from staged reviews. We agree this with you up front.
We ask for drawings, fire strategy if available, and any past assessments. Planning and building control notes also help. Structural reports save time if they cover hazards or old materials.
Yes. We review what’s been said, visit the site, and help build a proper response. Then we draft or update your fire risk assessment to help close the issue properly.
We work across England and Wales. From Salisbury, we support city centres, market towns, and complex rural conversions. We also work on portfolios spread out over several areas.
