Fire no objection certificate also known as the fire NOC is a legal document issued by the fire department of a district or any of the authorized fire safety departments depending on the location/ area of registration. The Fire NOC heads out to counter every person’s operational site in such a manner with regards to the requirements as per the current set fire standards by the fire departments and the basic safety of the occupants in the eventuality of fire mishap. For example: Fire exit, fire sprinklers, fire alarms, fire notices, different types of fire fighters based on the nature of the workplace, fire hoses, and others are essential to protect the tenants from the building and to prevent fire outbreaks in the first instance.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
