Explore the serviceThe J7 standard
A professional assessment should support decisions—not merely create another document
J7 connects the building, occupation, people, fire precautions and day-to-day management. The report distinguishes what was seen, what was supplied, what remains uncertain and what requires action or another competent discipline.
How J7 controls scope and competenceIndependent findings
Recommendations are not shaped by a requirement to sell equipment or construction work.
Controlled assessor standard
Assessor suitability is considered against the premises, complexity and accepted scope before work proceeds.
Explicit boundaries
Engineering, intrusive surveys, system design, testing and other specialist work remain separately identified.
Usable action
Priorities, evidence gaps and responsibilities are presented so the client can assign, track and review the response.
Clients and premises
Support shaped around who controls the building
J7 works with responsible persons and property professionals who need the assessment, documentation and management position to join together.
One controlled record trail
From enquiry to review
One J7-managed workflow for each premises and portfolio
J7 maintains operational records linking the enquiry, quotation, booking, report, actions and review point. Each premises retains its own evidence and assessment history; clients receive agreed documents and updates through the confirmed business contact route.
- 01
Enquiry, premises record and quotation
The client, premises information, responsibilities, records, required service, scope, fee and terms are brought together by J7.
- 02
Payment on account
The required payment on account is cleared, or approved written account terms are confirmed, before a booking becomes eligible.
- 03
Booking and preparation
An eligible premises is booked into controlled availability and the client completes the pre-inspection information and evidence request.
- 04
Assessment and report
The accepted work is completed against the building, people, evidence and management arrangements, then issued through the agreed delivery route.
- 05
Action context and review
J7 retains the report issue, action context and review point within its operating records so future follow-up can be planned against the premises history.
Connected specialist work
One enquiry without blurred professional responsibilities
Where the assessment or client requirement identifies system, equipment, training or engineering work, J7 can coordinate the route while the appointed specialist remains responsible for their design, installation, testing, certification or delivery.

Primary coverage across London and Essex
Central, East and South-East London are a particular operational focus. Kent and Suffolk remain available for suitable individual, portfolio and multi-site instructions.
Pricing and scope
The fee follows the work the premises actually requires
A simple standard service should be easy to price. Variable or complex work should not be made to look fixed merely to create an instant checkout.
Route A
Defined standard service
A fixed fee is used only where the service, eligibility, inputs and deliverable are genuinely standardised. The formal quotation confirms that the premises meets the route.
Route B
Premises-specific fee
Most assessments and consultancy work depend on the building, use, size, evidence, access, sleeping risk and required output. J7 provides an honest starting point, range or fee band only after sufficient information is available.
Route C
Complex or portfolio scope
High-risk, unusual, multi-site and portfolio instructions require tailored scoping. Mobilisation, sites, programme, reporting, review arrangements and any specialist work are set out in a written proposal.
No surprise route changes
Indicative information is not a binding quotation. Before payment or booking, the client receives a written scope, exclusions, fee, VAT, deliverables and applicable payment terms. J7 does not use an automated price to make competence, life-safety or professional-scope decisions.
Annual and portfolio management
One controlled programme across multiple premises
J7 can assess whether a controlled recurring programme is suitable while each building retains its own scope, history, actions and review decisions.
Suitable for
- Landlords, managing agents and property teams with multiple premises
- Responsible persons who need review dates and actions kept visible
- Clients requiring a consistent programme without treating every building as identical
Possible programme components
- Portfolio register, document status and agreed review programme
- Action, evidence and exception tracking at premises level
- Scheduled management summaries and renewal planning
- Separately scoped assessments, visits or specialist work where required
A scoped programme, not an automatic subscription
The responsible person retains their legal responsibilities. An enquiry records interest only. No annual service, capacity or fee is offered until J7 has approved the named premises, mobilisation, included allowance, review activity, reporting cadence, exclusions, additional-work route, payment schedule and delivery capacity in a written proposal.
Commercial arrangements
Payment on account and approved account terms
The quotation confirms the payment arrangement for the instruction before booking.
Payment on account
The accepted quotation states the payment required on account and the event when it must clear. The instruction is not eligible for booking or commencement until that requirement, or an approved written account route, is confirmed.
Approved account clients
Written account or portfolio terms may be agreed for approved clients. Credit is not assumed: the accepted quotation states the authority, limit, due event and terms applying to the client and instruction.
Clear before work starts
The quotation records the scope, fee, VAT treatment, mandatory cost, payment schedule, booking trigger and any balance condition before J7 commits the work.
Service appointments, remaining delivery obligations and final deliverables remain subject to the accepted quotation and J7 Fire Ltd’s current controlled Terms and Conditions.
