• 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

Local Area around Staines-upon-Thames

Staines-upon-Thames is a busy riverside town in north-west Surrey, within the Borough of Spelthorne, close to the Greater London boundary. It has a population of around 20,000 in the town itself (with the wider Spelthorne borough around 100,000), giving it a lively but not overwhelming feel. Centred on the River Thames, one of its defining features is its attractive riverside, with paths, pubs, and green spaces that are popular for walking, running, and leisure. The town centre offers two main shopping areas (Elmsleigh Centre and Two Rivers retail park), a cinema, gyms, and a good range of restaurants and cafes. Historically, Staines has Roman origins as a river crossing point (Pontes), and the presence of older buildings and historic houses, such as those in the conservation areas near the river and along Church Street, add character to what is otherwise a modern commercial centre. Residential streets range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, to 20th‑century suburban housing and some contemporary riverfront developments. For healthcare, the nearest major accident and emergency hospital is Ashford Hospital (about 3–4 miles away) and St Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey (around 6–7 miles), which together provide emergency, maternity, and specialist services. There are also several GP surgeries and medical centres in and around the town, and larger facilities available in nearby Egham, Chertsey, and Heathrow’s catchment area. Fire and rescue cover is provided by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, with the nearest fire station typically Staines Fire Station, positioned to give quick access to the town and surrounding roads, including the M25 and A30; additional support can come from neighbouring stations if required. Crime levels are comparable to similar commuter towns, with visible policing and neighbourhood watch schemes in some streets; as in any busy town, standard urban precautions are advisable, particularly at night and around transport hubs. One of the great advantages of Staines-upon-Thames is its connectivity: direct rail services to London Waterloo in about 35 minutes, close proximity to Heathrow Airport (typically 15–20 minutes by car or bus), and easy access to the M25, M3, and A30. This makes it particularly attractive to commuters and frequent travellers. The town is also close to large parks and attractions such as Windsor Great Park, Runnymede (site of the signing of Magna Carta), and Thorpe Park, giving residents plenty of leisure options nearby. Overall, Staines-upon-Thames combines riverside charm, practical transport links, and a good spread of local services, making it a convenient and generally safe choice for someone relocating to the Surrey–London border area.
