I have worked in fire safety for more than ten years. I started in a housing association’s asset management team, tracking fire risk assessment actions across thousands of homes, and I have carried out fire risk assessments myself since 2018. I have led assessor teams and checked other assessors’ work as a validator.
Over that time I saw the same problem from both sides. Clients received reports that were long, generic and hard to act on. Meanwhile, the person who actually walked the building was often several steps removed from the person the client spoke to.
What Obelisk does differently
- You deal with the assessor. The person who quotes, inspects, writes and signs off your report is the same person: me.
- Reports you can act on. Every finding has a clear, prioritised action with a realistic timescale. No padding.
- Experience where it matters. Social housing, supported living, HMOs and care schemes have been the core of my work. They are buildings where people sleep and where getting out is not always simple.
- Accountability. I am NFRAR Advanced Level registered and a Member of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, and you can check both.
Where we work
Obelisk is based in Mansfield and covers the whole of the UK, with a focus on the East Midlands and surrounding areas.
If you manage buildings and want a straight answer about where you stand, get in touch. I am always happy to talk it through.
