Fire Safety GAP Analysis Services

Fire safety responsibilities are becoming increasingly complex, particularly for housing providers managing large or diverse property portfolios.

A Fire Safety GAP Analysis provides an objective review of your existing fire safety management arrangements, helping you understand where your organisation meets expectations and where improvements are needed. Rather than focusing solely on individual buildings, we assess your policies, procedures, documentation and compliance processes to identify gaps that could expose your organisation to unnecessary risk.

Whether you’re preparing for an internal audit, responding to regulatory changes or reviewing your wider compliance strategy, PM+ provides practical recommendations that support continuous improvement.

What's Included in a Fire Safety GAP Analysis?

Every organisation has different responsibilities, so our reviews are tailored to your portfolio and operational requirements. Depending on your needs, a Fire Safety GAP Analysis may include:

Supporting Compliance

Our Fire Safety GAP Analysis provides a clear, independent assessment of your current arrangements, helping responsible persons understand where improvements may be required.

Depending on your organisation and property portfolio, our reviews can support compliance with legislation and guidance including:

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022

Building Safety Act 2022

Home Office guidance and sector best practice

Relevant British Standards and recognised industry guidance

Understand Where Improvements Are Needed

Fire safety compliance extends beyond individual Fire Risk Assessments or inspections. It relies on effective policies, robust management systems and consistent processes that work together to protect residents and meet legal responsibilities.

Over time, changes to legislation, organisational processes and building portfolios can create gaps that leave organisations exposed to unnecessary risk.

PM+ provides independent Fire Safety GAP Analysis services to assess your existing fire safety arrangements against current legislation, guidance and recognised industry best practice. We identify areas requiring improvement and provide practical recommendations to help strengthen compliance across your portfolio.

Why Fire Safety GAP Analysis Matters

Understanding where your organisation stands is the first step towards improving compliance.

A Fire Safety GAP Analysis provides an objective review of your fire safety management arrangements, highlighting strengths alongside areas where policies, procedures or documentation may not meet current expectations.

For organisations managing multiple buildings, it also helps prioritise investment, support governance and demonstrate a proactive approach to fire safety management.
