About the firm

Inside Parsec Fire

The honest version of who we are: a 55-town East-Midlands fire-safety practice run out of 83-89 Phoenix Street in Sutton-In-Ashfield, with a fixed-fee model, a qualified-engineer rota, and a policy of writing every report against the building in front of us rather than a template. This page is the operations-side counterpart to our values page.

Our HQ

We're not a virtual office or a Birmingham call centre. The address you'll see on every certificate, log-book entry and invoice is the actual building we operate from:

Nottinghamshire NG17 4HL
M1 J28 · 0.6 mi from Ashfield (Mansfield Rd) fire station · Notts FRS area

How we get to you

20 of our 55 towns are 15 road miles or less from the door — most of those are same-day for urgent compliance.
25 more towns sit between 15 and 30 miles, typically a next-day slot.
Anything beyond 30 miles (10 towns) is scheduled by route rather than urgency, so we keep mileage charges out of the quote.

Standards every report references

A Parsec Fire report cites the actual document each finding is judged against, not "current best practice" hand-waving:

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Fire Safety Act 2021 & Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
PAS 79-1 (non-domestic) & PAS 79-2 (housing)
BS 5839-1 commercial alarms · BS 5839-6 domestic & HMO
BS 5306-3 / -8 extinguisher servicing and provision
BS 9999 fire safety in the design and management of buildings
LACORS guidance for residential conversions and HMOs
Approved Document B (Building Regulations Part B)
