The problem
Assessment day is not the hard part
The hard part is everything that follows: recurring checks, action items, who did what, and a pack you can hand over when asked. Spreadsheets and inboxes do not survive scrutiny.
01
Due dates drift
Cadences live in the assessment, in someone’s head, or in a forgotten calendar. Fire Clock generates them from the premises and keeps them visible.
02
Records get rewritten
Editable logs are weak evidence. Fire Clock is append-only: a mistake is corrected by a later entry that cites the earlier one.
03
Law and practice blur
Statutory duties and recognised good practice are not the same thing. Mixing them produces confident, wrong answers.
Statutory vs good practice
Wording that does not invent a breach
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 are law. Cadences drawn from British Standards and sector guidance are recognised good practice. Fire Clock labels every obligation and never claims a good-practice miss puts you in breach of the law.
Statutory
Required by law
Duties under the Fire Safety Order and the 2022 Regulations. Every item carries its source and the rule-set version it came from.
Overdue — statutory duty
Good practice
Against the cadence your assessor set
Recognised schedules an enforcing authority will expect. Tracked and evidenced — described as overdue against that cadence, never as a breach of the law.
Overdue against your assessor’s cadence
Who it is for
Built for assessors. Owned by the duty-holder.
the buyer
Fire risk assessors
Set up premises, share boards with clients, and keep a defensible trail after you leave site.

Responsible Persons
See what is due, record checks as they happen, and export the pack when somebody asks for it.
the portfolio
Managing agents
Visibility across blocks, with the statutory and good-practice distinction preserved on every line.
Pricing
Three tiers — prices to be confirmed
Placeholder plans only. Nothing here is an offer or a checkout.
Fire risk assessors are the primary buyers. The obligations belong to their clients — the Responsible Person for each premises. Managing agents and Responsible Persons can also use the product once invited.
Does Fire Clock cover Wales or Scotland?
No. Version 1 covers England only. Wales and Scotland have different regimes and are out of scope.
What about buildings 18 metres or taller?
High-rise duties are not supported in this version. Fire Clock recognises the height band and states the case is unsupported rather than silently omitting obligations.
Is a missed good-practice check a breach of the law?
No. Fire Clock distinguishes statutory duties from recognised good practice. It never tells you that a good-practice item puts you in breach of the law. Good-practice items are tracked against the cadence your assessor set.
