Why Fire Safety Is Important
Fire safety is more than a statutory obligation—it’s an essential aspect of safeguarding life and property. The fire safety regulatory authority of the UK imposes a statutory obligation upon landlords, property and business owners, as well as responsible citizens to identify and get rid of fire risks as soon as possible. Non-compliance can result in fines, prosecution, or imprisonment. Our engineers assist in the identification of hazards, safe means of escape, and the safeguarding of tenants and visitors. Effective fire safety prevents loss of life, minimizes damage to property, and instills public confidence.

3. On-site Assessment
We will send one of our qualified fire assessors to your premises at the agreed time. The inspection usually takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the size and type of the building. We look at main areas, including fire exit points, alarm systems, emergency lighting, fire doors, signs, and potential hazards. We also consider the property layout, occupants, and usage. The aim is to determine risks and gauge the effectiveness of your current fire safety arrangements.
4. Detailed Reporting
After the assessment, we create an extensive, easy-to-read report. It includes a full list of fire risks, how serious they are, and feasible steps to improve them. The report is completely compliant and can be used as proof of assessment for local authorities, insurers, or licensing authorities.
5. Emergency Evacuation Plan
As an additional service, we are also able to prepare a Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan (FEEP) if need be. The plan contains information on how to evacuate the building safely in case of a fire. It is especially useful for HMOs, businesses, and public buildings. We can provide aid with signage, exit planning, and training guidance to make it safer.
6. Final Assessment & Ongoing Support

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fire Risk Assessment
A fire risk assessment is a thorough inspection of a property to determine possible fire hazards and evaluate fire safety precautions. It includes inspecting fire exits, alarms, electrical equipment, and other hazards. The purpose is to confirm that the property meets fire safety legislation and that measures are taken to minimize fire risks. Following the assessment, a report is issued with suggestions to enhance safety and satisfy legal requirements.
Why do I need a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment will identify the hazards that might start a fire or impact the means of escape during an emergency. It is vital to ensure the safety of tenants, staff, or visitors and fulfill UK fire legislation requirements. Completing a fire risk assessment will also safeguard your property against damage from fire and provide you with the necessary safety provisions, which can be critical in terms of insurance and not incurring penalties through the law.
Who Can Carry Out a Fire Risk Assessment?
The individual who is to carry out a fire risk assessment depends on the nature of the property. For landlords, it is their duty to make sure that rental properties are up to fire safety standards. In HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), the manager or landlord has to carry out the assessment. Business owners also have to evaluate the fire risks within their buildings. Finally, the property owner must make sure that there is compliance with fire safety legislation.
Is a Fire Risk Assessment Mandatory by Law?
Yes, a fire risk assessment is mandatory in the UK. All non-domestic premises, including rented premises and businesses, are required to have a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Landlords and property managers have a legal requirement to make their premises compliant with fire safety regulations to safeguard tenants and visitors. Not doing so can result in fines, prosecution, or even imprisonment in extreme cases.
How Many Steps Make Up a Fire Safety Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment will usually involve five main steps:
- The identification of fire hazards within the property, e.g., faulty electrical wiring or combustible materials.
- The identification of who is at risk, e.g., tenants and visitors.
- The assessment of the likelihood of a fire and the associated risks.
- The implementation of control measures to minimize or eliminate risks.
- Recording findings and reviewing the assessment on a regular basis to ensure it is current.
What does the Fire Risk Assessment report include?
The fire risk assessment report provides a detailed inspection of the property’s fire safety provisions and any risks that need to be addressed. It states hazards like obstructed fire doors, out-of-date alarms, or fire equipment. The report also provides an action plan of suggested improvements, the level of risks, and any compliance matters. The report acts as a record for the property owner to implement necessary steps and maintain regular safety and compliance.
How long does a Fire Risk Assessment take, and what is the cost?
The length of a fire risk assessment will vary depending on the size and complexity of the property. For a small property, it would be approximately 45 minutes, whereas bigger premises could take up to 2-3 hours. The price is also determined by property type, size, and location. It usually costs between £200 and £1,300. For a proper quote, we offer free quotations.
How often should I conduct a Fire Risk Assessment for my property?
You must carry out a fire risk assessment at least annually or more often if there are major changes to the property. This includes changes to the building structure, changes in occupancy, or changes to fire safety equipment. Also, a fresh assessment must be done if there’s an incident or near-miss involving fire. Regular assessments keep your property compliant with UK fire safety legislation and ensure that fire risks are addressed quickly.
Who can carry out a Fire Risk Assessment in London?
A fire risk assessment should be undertaken by an experienced and qualified person who understands UK fire safety legislation.
