Fire Risk Assessment
A Fire Risk Assessment is required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and we provide thorough and fully compliant assessments.
Expert Fire Risk Assessment Services
A Fire Risk Assessment involves a detailed inspection of your property, both internally and externally, to identify potential fire hazards and risks. The aim is to reduce or eliminate these risks to a safe, compliant level, ensuring appropriate fire protection measures are in place.
If you are an employer, owner, landlord, occupier, or have control of non-domestic premises, you are considered the “Responsible Person” for fire safety. This includes roles such as facilities managers, building managers, managing agents, or risk assessors.
Why a Fire Risk Assessment Is Essential
Who we work with
Visual Check (Communal / Accessible Areas Only)
A basic assessment of shared spaces such as corridors, stairwells, plant rooms, and escape routes; no walls, floors, or ceilings are opened up.
Looks at:
- Fire doors
- Escape routes
- Signage
- Detection systems
- General fire safety management
Suitable for most buildings.
Visual Check (Communal Areas + Occupied Spaces)
Includes Type 1 checks and also extends into a sample of occupied areas, such as offices, units, bedrooms, storage rooms, or tenant spaces.
Looks at:
- Internal smoke alarms
- Escape routes within occupied rooms
- Fire doors between private and communal spaces
Helps ensure local practices don’t compromise overall safety.
Intrusive Check (Communal Areas + Occupied Spaces)
The most detailed assessment, combining the checks from Type 2 and Type 3.
Includes:
- Opening walls, ceilings, and service risers
- Investigating hidden construction details
- Checking concealed fire-stopping and compartment lines
More disruptive and typically used when serious fire safety issues are suspected.
Intrusive Check (Communal / Accessible Areas Only)
Includes everything in Type 1, but also involves opening up parts of the building’s structure to check hidden compartmentation and fire-stopping.
Used when:
- Concealed defects are suspected
- Previous assessments raised concerns
Requires approval and reinstatement after inspection.
