Apex works across two disciplines, covering 17 named services.

Fire Engineering (design-stage analysis and strategy) — work that shapes a building before and during construction: fire strategies, retrospective fire strategies, PAS 9980 surveys (FRAEW), CFD and evacuation modelling, planning and fire safety statements, fire safety engineering design and strategy reports, construction-stage and handover reports, Building Safety Act and regulatory compliance, and fire advisory and specialist support.

Fire Safety (assurance for standing buildings) — work that establishes what is actually in a building and what to do about it: fire risk assessments, fire compartmentation surveys, fire door surveys, fire safety audits, construction-phase FRAs, fire separation and compartmentation, Regulation 38 fire safety information, and fire remediation project management.

Apex holds no installation arm and no remediation contracts. Findings and recommendations reflect risk and regulation, not a follow-on sale. This is stated as a structural fact of the business, not a marketing claim — see the case studies below, several of which turn on this point explicitly (a public-sector or leaseholder-funded client needing advice free of a commercial interest in the remediation that follows).

Apex holds the following:

• IFE Registration
• IFSM Registration
• ASFP Registration
• Constructionline
• SafeContractor

BAFE SP205 (Life Safety Fire Risk Assessment) certification is in progress; it is not yet held and does not appear as a certification or badge on this site until it is.

No other accreditation, registration or certification is claimed.

Apex holds professional indemnity (PI) and public liability (PL) insurance. Certificates and policy details are available on request as part of the tender/compliance pack. Cover limits are not published on this site while a scheduled adequacy review of those limits against tender requirements is in progress.

Employers' liability: Apex is a sole-director business with no employees, which is exempt from the statutory requirement to hold EL insurance. This will be revisited if that position changes.

Six anonymised case studies are published, each identifying the sector and building type without naming the client or the building:

• A rolling fire risk assessment programme across a large social housing portfolio
• Bringing a managing agent's mixed portfolio onto one fire-compliance footing
• A fire strategy for a hospitality fit-out, delivered without slowing the programme
• A fire risk assessment for a school, written to be acted on
• A fire strategy for a 34,000 m² pharmaceutical distribution warehouse
• A PAS 79 fire risk assessment programme across a police force estate

Apex's engineering and assessment work is carried out against, and cites, the following instruments and standards where they apply to a given project:

• Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
• Building Safety Act 2022
• Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
• PAS 9980:2022
• BS 9999 / BS 9991
• BS 7974
• Approved Document B
• Regulation 38

• Company registration:search “Apex Fire Safety Ltd”, company number 16271651, on Companies House (find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk).
• IFE Registration:the IFE's public Find-a-Professional / register listing.
• IFSM Registration: the IFSM/NFRAR public register listing.
• Insurance, ASFP, Constructionline and SafeContractor status: certificates supplied on request as part of the tender pack — these are credibility/badge-type confirmations, not independently searchable public registers.

The registers above are named but not deep-linked, and no membership numbers are published. Direct listing URLs will be added when they are available.
