Approved Business Showcases Expert Client Support with Successful Fire Risk Assessment Dispute Resolution
St Mary’s Bay, Kent – June 2025 – Approved Business Ltd proudly announces the successful resolution of a complex fire risk assessment dispute involving one of its featured clients, 1st Aid Fire Ltd, led by Managing Director Darren Young MIFSM, Cert Ed.
The case concerned a residential property with disputed access rights impacting the only viable fire escape route. After careful assessment of site conditions and safety hazards, 1st Aid Fire Ltd delivered expert guidance, legally informed recommendations, and proactive support to champion client safety and compliance.
The client expressed gratitude for the thorough, supportive handling of the issue and the practical solutions provided, noting confidence in the ongoing plan and timelines.
Key to the resolution was a professionally crafted letter addressed to the neighbour, detailing critical concerns:
- Obstruction of the sole escape route by a lean-to structure containing flammable materials and electrical appliances
- Serious fire safety violations related to the wood-burning stove and associated flue installation, contravening fire safety legislation and guidance
- Safeguarding issues under the Equality Act 2010 concerning occupants with mobility needs who were unable to safely access the property
The correspondence respectfully requested immediate remedial actions to restore safe, legal access for the occupants and highlighted potential escalation routes including local authorities and legal intervention—steps which, to date, have been successfully avoided.
Darren Young remarked, “Providing clear, actionable fire safety advice and ensuring ongoing client support aligns with Approved Business’s commitment to high standards of professional service. We are proud to assist clients in safeguarding lives and wellbeing through expert consultancy and advocacy.”
Approved Business continues to foster a trusted platform connecting clients to qualified experts dedicated to business integrity, compliance, and client satisfaction.
