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

At ESI: Fire Safety, we support organisations across Dunsfold with professional fire risk assessments and a comprehensive suite of fire safety services.

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 Dunsfold

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 Dunsfold

Dunsfold is a rural village and civil parish in the borough of Waverley, in southwest Surrey, approximately 8 miles south of Godalming, 10 miles southwest of Guildford, and close to the West Sussex border.

The parish is small and predominantly countryside, with a population in the low thousands, characterised by scattered farms, hamlets and a compact village centre around the green and church.

The setting is notably tranquil and scenic, lying within gently undulating farmland and woodland, with a strong sense of separation from larger urban centres while still being within reasonable commuting distance of Guildford, Horsham and the A3.

A defining feature of the area is Dunsfold Aerodrome, a former Second World War airfield now home to a business park, aviation activities, and well known as the former test track for the BBC’s “Top Gear.” The village itself has a traditional green, a parish church (St Mary and All Saints), and several historic houses and farmsteads, including timber-framed and listed buildings that reflect Dunsfold’s medieval and post-medieval agricultural history.

For emergency and healthcare provision, residents rely on nearby towns. Fire cover is typically provided by stations in Cranleigh and Godalming; both are within a drive of around 15–20 minutes depending on your exact location in the parish and traffic conditions.

The nearest Accident & Emergency departments are at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford and East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, with community hospitals and minor injury services available in some surrounding towns.

Local GP surgeries and medical centres are found in Cranleigh and Godalming, which also offer routine clinics, pharmacies and basic diagnostics.

For someone moving to Dunsfold, it is advisable to register promptly with a nearby GP, familiarise yourself with your exact address location for emergency services, and note the fastest driving routes to the A3, Guildford and Cranleigh.

The area is considered generally safe, with low levels of serious crime, but as a rural community there are typical countryside risks such as narrow lanes, limited street lighting, and seasonal flooding in low-lying spots.

In return, Dunsfold offers a peaceful, community-focused lifestyle, access to beautiful countryside walks and bridleways, and a strong historical character anchored by its church, heritage buildings and long-standing farming traditions.
