Local data at a glance
Waverley in the Surrey comparison
Raw totals reflect service demand as well as population, roads, land use, premises and reporting. They must not be interpreted as a safety league table.
The population-context figure combines the 2025 incident count with the Census 2021 population of 128,229. It is descriptive context, not a current risk rate or a measure of compliance.

Fire risk assessment considerations in Waverley
A local incident total cannot define the assessment scope. The building’s use, people, layout, construction, management and existing fire precautions remain decisive.
Heritage and converted buildings
Older construction, concealed voids and successive alterations can affect compartmentation and the limits of a visual assessment.
Hospitality and community venues
Changing occupancy, events and unfamiliar visitors require workable capacity, escape and management arrangements.
Rural business premises
Site access, outbuildings, isolated working and mixed processes should be described before quotation.
