🔥 Protecting the Past: Fire Risk Assessment on Plymouth’s Historic Barbican


At CoreFRASolutions, we’re passionate about fire safety but just as passionate about the unique places we work in. That’s why we were especially excited to carry out a recent Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) in one of Plymouth’s most iconic and culturally rich locations:

The Historic Barbican.

With its cobbled streets, historic buildings, and vibrant harbour, the Barbican presents a distinctive challenge when it comes to fire safety and statutory compliance. Balancing the need to preserve character with the need to meet modern safety standards requires experience, precision, and local knowledge—which is exactly where we come in.


During our recent visit, we carried out a comprehensive Type 1 Fire Risk Assessment,

focusing on practical risks rather than just ticking boxes.

Our assessments are never one-size-fits-all. We take into account each building’s layout, usage, occupancy, and condition—providing clear, actionable advice that helps clients stay compliant while protecting people, property, and heritage.

Every property is different, and that’s what makes our work both challenging and rewarding.

Fire Safety by the Sea: A Day in Newquay Doing What We Do Best

July 6, 2025
A Great Day in Newquay Supporting Local Safety  Spent a fantastic day in Newquay, Cornwall, doing what I love most — carrying out Fire Risk Assessments. We also supported the client with Portable Appliance Testing (PAT). It’s always a pleasure to combine meaningful work with a visit to such a beautiful part of the world. Supporting businesses and property owners with their fire safety compliance is what drives us — and days like this are a great reminder of why we do what we do.
