About Us

A Boutique Approach to Fire Safety

Personal service, expert knowledge, and genuine care for the safety of London's residents.

Ignite Safety office
Our Story

Founded on a Simple Principle

Ignite Safety Solutions was established in 2018 by David Okafor after more than a decade working in fire safety for some of London's largest property management firms. David saw a gap in the market: residential landlords needed the same quality of fire safety advice that commercial clients received, but with a more personal, accessible approach.

Today, we serve over 200 landlords and managing agents across London, from individual property owners to firms managing portfolios of 500+ units. Our boutique model means every client works directly with a senior consultant who understands their properties and compliance requirements inside out.

We believe fire safety should be straightforward, not stressful. That is the guiding principle behind everything we do.

Our Values

What Drives Our Work

These principles guide every assessment, every report, and every client relationship.

Safety First, Always

Every recommendation we make is grounded in the genuine protection of life and property, never in upselling services.

Personal Relationships

We are small by design. You work with the same consultant throughout, building a relationship built on trust and understanding.

Clarity and Transparency

No jargon, no hidden costs. We explain everything in plain English and our pricing is always upfront and fair.
