Keeping people safe and ensuring your building meets fire safety legislation is essential for every business and property owner in Oxted, Surrey.

Whether you manage a commercial premises, a residential block, a community venue, or a mixed-use building, you have a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to maintain a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and ensure your life safety systems are properly serviced.

As proud Members of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) and the UK Fire Association, we follow the highest standards of competency and professionalism in all our work.

Fire Risk Assessments in Oxted

A fire risk assessment is the foundation of any compliant fire safety strategy. It identifies hazards, evaluates the risk to occupants, and outlines the steps required to reduce risks and protect people. Our qualified fire risk assessors provide detailed, fully documented assessments for:

• Offices and commercial buildings

• Industrial units, warehouses and workshops

• Retail premises and hospitality venues

• HMOs and residential blocks

• Schools, churches and community buildings

Each assessment includes a clear action plan, prioritised recommendations, and photographic evidence. You’ll receive a professional, easy-to-understand report that helps you meet your legal obligations and maintain a safe environment for all building users.

Fire Strategy Plans & Fire Safety Documentation

For more complex or higher-risk buildings, a fire strategy plan is essential. It explains how fire safety measures work together and provides guidance for building operations, contractors and responsible persons. Our fire strategy documentation covers:

• Means of escape

• Evacuation strategy and occupancy loads

• Fire-resistant construction and compartmentation

• Sitings and suitability of fire protection systems

• Management procedures and responsible person duties

Whether you are refurbishing, extending or changing the use of your premises, we can prepare new fire strategy plans or update existing documentation in line with modern standards.

Local Area around Oxted

Oxted is a leafy, affluent town in east Surrey, set at the foot of the North Downs within the Tandridge district, about 9 miles south of Croydon and roughly 20–25 miles from central London. With a population in the wider Oxted civil parish of around 13,000–15,000 residents, it combines a semi-rural character with very good transport links, including Oxted railway station on the main line to London Victoria and London Bridge (typical journey times of around 35–40 minutes). The town centre offers a mix of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and essential services, while surrounding residential roads are predominantly low-rise and suburban, with easy access to countryside and woodland. Historic interest is visible in Old Oxted, where traditional pubs and period buildings line the old high street, and in nearby country houses and estates across the district, many dating back several centuries and contributing to the area’s established, village-like feel. Modern Oxted includes family housing, good local schools, churches, and community facilities such as leisure and sports clubs. Healthcare provision is strong: there are several GP practices and medical centres in and around the town, with the nearest main hospitals typically located in East Surrey (Redhill) and Croydon, both accessible by road in roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Emergency fire cover is generally provided by nearby Surrey Fire and Rescue Service stations, most commonly from Oxted’s local on-call facility or surrounding larger stations within short driving distance; response times are usually reasonable given Oxted’s proximity to major routes like the A25 and M25. Crime levels are relatively low compared with urban centres, and the area is generally considered safe for families and commuters. The town’s history as a small rural settlement expanded significantly with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century, shaping it into today’s commuter hub. Excellent access to the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, good schools, green open spaces, and strong community networks are among the main reasons new residents are attracted to Oxted.
