From Luton the M1 runs straight north into the East Midlands, so this is one of the easier regions for us to get to. We have no office there, and a medium building takes a full day on site.
Five counties make up the region and each has its own fire and rescue service: Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. How any one of them treats compartmentation is not something we know well enough to write about, so we won't.
We haven't done a survey in the region that we could point to by name. Most of our work has been nearer home, and you should hear that before you ask.
The method is the same whichever county the building is in. We walk the stairs and risers, look above the ceilings, photograph every gap and mark each one on a plan. Flats, care homes, schools and offices are the usual requests. A warehouse with a mezzanine is another matter, and if it isn't ours to survey we'll say so.
When you get in touch, give us the address, how many storeys and stairs there are, and what the building is used for. A letter from a fire and rescue service about the building is worth sending too. We fix a date with you first so a key holder is there, and two buildings near each other can share a trip. The page on intrusive and non-intrusive surveys is worth reading before you book, since that choice decides how much gets opened up.
Tell us the building type, the storeys and how many cores it has. We will come back with a price for the survey and the report.
