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

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 Tongham

Tongham is a semi-rural village in southwest Surrey, situated between Farnham and Guildford and close to the border with Hampshire. It forms part of the borough of Guildford and lies just south of the A31 (Hogs Back), with easy road access to the A3 and M3. The village has a population in the low thousands, giving it a close-knit, community feel while still benefiting from proximity to larger towns for shopping, employment, and leisure. Traditionally a brewing and agricultural area, Tongham is historically known for the Hogs Back Brewery and retains a mix of older cottages, Victorian terraces, and more modern family housing. Several historic houses and period properties can be found in and around the village, reflecting its long-established rural character and its location along historic coaching and trading routes. Local amenities in Tongham include small shops, pubs, primary schooling, churches, and sports facilities, with larger supermarkets and retail centres available a short drive away in Farnham, Aldershot, and Guildford. Nearest fire and rescue cover is typically provided from nearby stations in Aldershot and Guildford, both within a reasonable driving distance, contributing to good emergency response capability. Hospital services are mainly accessed via Frimley Park Hospital (to the north, near Frimley/Camberley), Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, and, to a lesser extent, facilities around Aldershot and Farnham; these provide A&E, maternity, and specialist services within roughly 15–30 minutes by car, traffic dependent. GP surgeries and medical centres are located in adjacent towns and suburbs such as Ash, Ash Vale, and Farnham, with community pharmacies in the surrounding area. Tongham’s reputation as a relatively quiet, low-crime village, combined with its green spaces, walking routes, and community events, make it attractive for families and commuters. Its history as a rural settlement, its surviving traditional architecture, and its accessible but tucked-away location under the Hogs Back ridge all contribute to its character. Prospective residents can expect a safe, neighbourly environment, with good road links, nearby healthcare and emergency services, and a blend of historic charm and modern village living.
