Frequently Asked Questions
Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire risk assessments are legally required for virtually all non-domestic premises. If you own, manage or operate a building, you must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out by a competent person. This requirement also applies to communal areas of residential flats and large Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
Who is responsible for ensuring a fire risk assessment is completed?
The ‘Responsible Person’ must ensure fire risk assessments are completed. This is typically:
- The employer for workplaces
- The building owner or landlord for commercial premises
- The managing agent or landlord for communal areas of residential buildings
- The business owner for business premises
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
We recommend that fire risk assessments are reviewed annually as best practice. However, they should also be reviewed whenever there are significant changes to:
- Building layout or structure
- Occupancy levels or types
- Work activities or processes
- Fire safety measures or equipment
- Following a fire incident or near miss
- If new legislation is introduced

Our comprehensive fire risk assessments include:

- Assessment of record-keeping and maintenance
- Development of a detailed action plan with prioritised recommendations
How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The time required depends on the size and complexity of your premises. A small office might take 2-3 hours, while a large industrial facility could require a full day or more. We always take the time needed to conduct a thorough assessment.

We pride ourselves on our responsiveness. In most cases, we can be on-site within 24 hours of your initial enquiry, and we deliver our comprehensive report within 5 working days of completing the assessment.
