In short: Fire Risk Scotland covers all 32 Scottish council areas from our Glasgow office, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Perth, the Highlands and the islands. Every assessment is carried out in person by Raj Chall BSc, and prices start from £225 + VAT.
Glasgow and the west
Our office is in Glasgow city centre, so Glasgow, East and West Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and North and South Lanarkshire are covered with the shortest notice. Much of the work here is HMOs in tenement flats, city-centre offices and shops, and common closes for factors.

Inverness, Highlands and islands
Inverness and the Highland Council area, Argyll and Bute, the Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland. Guest houses, hotels, bunkhouses, self-catering lets and community halls make up much of the work. We plan Highland and island visits efficiently and can group several properties into one trip.
The Borders and Dumfries and Galloway
The Scottish Borders, including Galashiels, Hawick, Kelso and Peebles, and Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries, Stranraer, Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright. Rural holiday lets, guest houses, farm buildings and town-centre premises are typical.
Frequently asked questions
Do you charge extra for travel to the Highlands and islands?
Remote and island locations can affect the price, and you will see the cost in your quote before you book. Where we have several properties to assess in the same area, we group visits to keep costs down.
Do you cover the north of England?
Fire Risk Scotland specialises in Scottish premises and Scottish fire law. Our sister company, Scottish Energy Services, works across Scotland and the north of England for energy assessments and building compliance.
