At Black Mountain Fire Consultants, we are fire safety consultants specialising in fire engineering, risk assessment, and active fire protection, with a particular specialism in the TV and film industry.

Our team is led by degree-qualified fire engineers and we hold BAFE SP205 third-party accreditation, meeting every assessment and strategy we deliver is independently verified and audited. This isn’t just a badge on our website, it’s the nationally recognised benchmark for competence in fire risk assessment, and it matters because UK legislation requires it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety ACT 2021, Productions, Studios, and responsible persons have a legal duty to ensure fire risk assessments are carried out by someone who is genuinely competent. Our accreditation gives you that assurance, and satisfies the expectations without you having to worry about it.

We can also support productions and construction projects under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM), working alongside Principal Designers, Health and safety professionals and contractors to manage fire-related risks from the design stage onwards.

Within the TV and film industry, we cover everything from fire risk assessments for sets and locations, bespoke fire safety planning, pyrotechnics and special effects guidance, and full compliance support so your productions is protected, safe, legally covered, and ready to shoot.
