Aspects of the Fire Safety Check

Fire safety is about many different aspects. Below you find a number of examples. After the check you discuss with our expert about the results and about priorities. Action needed? If yes, which action to take first.

  • Is the number plate of your house visible for a fire brigade, also even in the dark?
  • Do you know the tap where the fire engine should get the water?
  • Is it possible to open the front door from the inside without a key?
  • Are the main switches for gas, electricity and water known and easy to access?
  • Has the central heating system been checked and cleaned every year?
  • Are the fuses, switches and sockets in good order?
  • Is the electrical system protected by means of an earth leakage circuit breaker?
  • Are all electrical wires undamaged and protected adequately?
  • Is the air tube of the dryer clean?
  • Is the gas tube of the stove in good condition?
  • Is no more than 3,520 watts connected to any single group?
  • Has the chimney been checked and cleaned every year?
  • Are smoke detectors installed, especially near bedrooms?
  • How often are the chimneys and extractors used? When was the last time the chimney pipes were swept?

So how does MrFix get the expert to do your Fire safety job right 1st time? We reveal two of our secrets…

Secret 1: Proper Preparation

It starts with MrFix screening experts and hand-picking those who know which jobs they do best and who do not blame others when it goes wrong.

When you submit your job you will find that the MrFix app and the form above ask only info that is relevant to Fire safety jobs. So your request is crystal clear and we can make sure the expert is the right fit for your job.

And we tailor your job request to your preferences:

  • A free estimate or a quote (see below)
  • Request your Job for free via the MrFix app or MrFix.nl or call us to input your Job for you (€9.95): +31 20 6750333 (Mon-Fri 9:00-13:00h & 14:00-19:00h, Sat-Sun 13:00-17:00h)
  • You buy the materials or the expert does

For €9.95 the expert guarantees their labour (and the materials, if they supply them) for a minimum of 3 months (recommended).

Quotes versus Estimates

We send you the expert’s estimate for your Fire safety job with their appointment proposal. For jobs over ~€1.000 we recommend that you request a quote (fixed price), not only for maximum certainty but also because for big quote jobs most experts offer a discount on the hourly rate (often 10-20%).

Both quotes and estimates are free, but a quote usually requires a paid inspection visit first.

Secret 2: 5-Star Support and Aftercare

As soon as we find you a good expert you can accept, reschedule or cancel the proposed appointment (all free of charge) in the MrFix app. Then you can ask questions and share info via the Chat function to make sure your contractor brings the right tools and materials. MrFix is there to clear up any misunderstandings.

Even after this thorough preparation a problem could occur. If you’re not 100% satisfied you can tell the expert via Chat what you want them to do about it. Please make reasonable dates & times available for them to return under their guarantee. You can count on our expert (or their liability insurance) to make it right! Not only because they typically depend on MrFix for ~20-40% of their income but because we select experts who assume responsibility for their work.

When you’re ready to submit your Fire safety job please use the MrFix app or the form above. We find you a solid expert anywhere in The Netherlands, from Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht to Enschede and from Maastricht and Eindhoven to Groningen.
