A policy sits alongside other documents. A specialist firm drafts each one based on what they find at the building, so the paperwork matches the actual layout and risks present.
-
Fire Risk Assessment
The assessor examines the building, records hazards, and identifies who might be harmed. The resulting report forms the basis for any written policy.
-
Fire Evacuation Plans
The consultant maps escape routes and assembly points. These drawings feed directly into the evacuation section of a management plan.
-
Fire Warden Training
The trainer teaches nominated staff how to sweep areas and assist people out. Their duties then appear by name in the procedures document.
Why insurers and tenderers ask for a policy
A written fire policy for insurers proves that someone has thought through the risks at the premises and set down rules for managing them every day.
- Insurer requirements An insurer typically wants to see a fire safety management plan for the Sutton premises that names responsible people, sets out alarm testing routines, and records staff training dates.
- Tender submissions Procurement teams ask for fire procedures for tender submission to confirm the bidding company manages its buildings safely. The specialist drafts these documents to match the contract requirements.
- Policy versus assessment The fire risk assessment identifies hazards. The policy sets out the daily rules for managing them. A specialist writes the policy using the assessment findings as evidence.
- Log books and weekly checks A fire log book template for Sutton premises gives staff a place to record weekly alarm tests and extinguisher checks. The responsible person fills it in week to week.
From missing paperwork to a complete file
Most premises start without formal documentation. Once a specialist reviews the building and drafts the necessary papers, the file holds everything an inspector or insurer might ask to read.
Before the work starts
There is no written record of who does what during an alarm, no schedule for testing equipment, and no single document an insurer can review.
After the drafting is done
A bound policy document sits with the assessment report, supported by floor plans, a completed log book, and named wardens with defined responsibilities.
Documents you receive after the work
The specialist produces paperwork grounded in what they observed at the building. Each document records a specific part of the fire safety arrangements so nothing is left to memory.
- Written policy document
- Sets out the rules for preventing fires and responding to alarms. It names the responsible person and references the latest assessment findings.
- Procedures manual
- Details step-by-step actions for staff during an emergency, including who calls the fire service and how visitors are accounted for.
- Completed log book
- Provides a formatted record for weekly alarm tests, emergency lighting checks, and fire door inspections, ready for the responsible person to maintain.
Typical costs for policy drafting work
Drafting takes longer when a building has multiple floors, complex escape routes, or large numbers of staff. A small office requires fewer pages than a care home, so the time spent reading the assessment and writing the procedures varies accordingly.
-

£250 - £450
Number of staff and whether an up-to-date assessment already exists.

These figures indicate what work of this type typically costs. Nothing here is a quotation. Only an inspection of the specific premises settles a figure for one property.
