Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments are thorough, methodical inspections of your premises which cover everything from plant rooms and escape routes to external storage areas and surrounding landscapes. This helps to pinpoint any conditions or activities that could potentially ignite, fuel, or accelerate a fire.
What's included in our Fire Risk Assessments?
The ultimate end goal is to remove or reduce these risks to an acceptable, safe level, giving you a clear action plan of what needs to be changed or put in place. By doing so, you ensure your building is fitted with robust, legally compliant fire‑protection measures.

Why Do I Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
Under UK law, all non-domestic premises must have a valid Fire Risk Assessment. It’s a legal requirement—and more importantly, a vital step in preventing fire-related incidents. A properly conducted assessment helps you:
Meet your legal duties
Avoid fines or enforcement action
Protect staff, customers, and visitors
Understand and reduce fire risks
Plan for fire emergencies
Who is Responsible for Fire Risk Assessments?
If you are an employer, owner, landlord, occupier, or someone with control over non-domestic premises, then you are considered the “Responsible Person” for fire safety. This includes facilities managers, building managers, managing agents, or risk assessors.

Frequently Asked Questions
When Would I Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
You are required to have a Fire Risk Assessment every 12 months by law! The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, means that any person who has some level of control in an organisation and/or over premises must take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of fire. Fire Compartmenation & Fire Door Surveys aren’t required by law but are typically required as a result of the FRA.
Why Do I Need a Survey After a Fire Risk Assessment?
The Fire Risk Assessment covers areas in Fire Compartmentation and Fire Doors but this covers only samples of some areas in the building, therefore any defects identified in these areas could be present throughout the building. Having a Fire Compartmentation or Fire Door Survey means we can confirm whether the rest of the building needs any remedial work by surveying all of the concerned areas.
What Happens Once a Survey is Complete?
Once we have completed our survey, you will receive an executive summary, which will provide you with an overview of our findings once the survey is conducted. You will also receive an in-depth survey report and itemised cost breakdown along with a formal quotation letter within 7 business days.
