Practical, Honest Fire Risk Assessments Since 2016
T2 Fire is an independent fire risk assessment company, founded by Liam Plumb in 2016. We carry out fire risk assessments for blocks of flats, HMOs, shops, offices, schools, hotels and more across London, Kent, Essex and the South East.
We set up T2 Fire to move away from generic tick-box assessments. Every report gives clear, practical recommendations based on what our assessor finds on site, so you know exactly what needs doing and why.
Our mission: clear, practical and compliant fire safety advice that helps you protect lives, property and your business with confidence.

How We Work
Assessment on Site
Our assessor visits at a time that suits you and reviews fire detection and alarms, sources of ignition, escape routes and emergency lighting, fire safety signage, fire doors (a visual inspection) and your fire safety procedures.
Your Written Report
You receive a clear report with prioritised findings 72 hours, written so you can act on it without a fire safety background.
Recommendations and Fire Policy
Every report ends with a practical action plan. If you need one, we can then write a fire safety policy for your building so occupants know what to do in a fire.
Independent advice: we review and check your fire safety arrangements; we don’t sell or carry out remedial works, so we only recommend what your building needs.
