Ad Hoc Support

JRA Fire Safety Advisors have provided professional and reliable consultancy support on fire safety to Summerhill Services Limited for the facilities of Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. Their team has assisted the Estates and Capital teams by conducting fire compartmentation surveys and fire door inspections. They demonstrated strong technical knowledge of fire safety requirements in healthcare and showed an understanding of the sensitivities involved in working within active clinical environments. Their approach was well-structured, thoroughly documented, and supportive of informed decision-making in a regulated healthcare setting. They engaged collaboratively and responsively, maintaining clear communication and employing well-organised methodologies that facilitated effective coordination with internal stakeholders. The survey outputs were comprehensive, clearly documented, and presented in a manner that enabled informed decision-making, prioritisation, and planning within a highly regulated healthcare context

West Bromwich Albion football club takes the health, safety and wellbeing of all its staff, supporters and visitors very seriously, and there is a huge responsibility upon us to ensure that fire and safety are amongst the most important considerations.

We look forward to partnering with JRA and continuing to learn and share best practices.

I am very grateful to Alex and the team at JRA for delivering for us in fire risk assessing our unique heritage property on completion of a £28 million restoration. Alex showed flexibility in adapting his approach to meet the phased opening of the buildings and went above and beyond the call, putting in many hours to meet the deadline that allowed us to open to visitors and tenants on time. The quality of the assessment was excellent, and Alex showed a real eye for detail and a good understanding of a large and complex set of inter-connected properties with different uses and levels of finish. Thank you, Alex and everyone at JRA, for your support.

We have used JRA for our annual fire risk assessments in both schools on our campus for over five years now, and we are delighted with the level of service provided. Both sites have very different needs, and they have accommodated these perfectly; the risk assessments are down to earth, thorough and easy to understand, and the attached plan helps to arrange remedial works. Their knowledge of relevant legislation is extensive and up to date, and they are always happy to answer our many queries outside of the risk assessment at no extra cost. I would heartily recommend them to anyone looking to improve the safety of their site."
