HESTIA was founded to provide competent, proportionate, expert fire safety advice grounded in real-world enforcement experience and building knowledge.
We provide professional Fire Risk Assessments, Fire Safety consultancy and compliance support across Scotland. With extensive senior-level experience in Fire Safety Enforcement and strategic fire risk management, we deliver clear, practical and defensible Fire Safety advice for Duty holders providing complex building risk assessment, regulatory compliance oversight and strategic fire safety leadership.
Our approach helps duty-holders deliver compliance with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, helping organisations fulfil their legal responsibilities while reducing risk and cost.
We are proud to be recognised by both the Institution of Fire Engineers and the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, with over 28 years experience working in the fire sector and built environment.
Who we support
From single-site businesses to complex projects, HESTIA supports a wide mix of clients:
Commercial landlords and facilities-management teams rely on us for routine Fire Risk Assessments and proportionate remedial advice. Care-home operators, schools and universities call on our trainers for sector-specific staff instruction, evacuation planning and fire-safety awareness sessions, while retailers, hotels and leisure venues use our audits to keep high-footfall premises compliant without disrupting trading hours.
We also work directly with architects, principal designers and developers during the warrant process, preparing concise Fire Safety Design Statements and practical compliance notes that address Section 2 requirements of the Scottish Technical Handbook and reassure verifiers.
Finally, owners and factors of blocks of flats and other multi-occupancy residential buildings commission us to deliver scheduled Fire Door inspections and ongoing fire-safety management support, giving insurers and residents clear, defensible evidence of compliance.
