Professional Fire Risk Assessments in Hinckley

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must carry out a fire risk assessment. Our PAS 79 compliant assessments identify fire hazards, evaluate risks, and provide clear recommendations to keep your premises safe.

Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Hinckley. Choosing a local consultancy means prompt site visits and local knowledge. We understand the building types and fire safety challenges specific to your area.

Hinckley's manufacturing heritage means a lot of older industrial building stock still in use, much of it repurposed several times over. Buildings originally put up for hosiery and knitwear now house very different operations, and the fire strategy rarely gets revisited when the use changes.

The town also sits close to the M69 and A5 with substantial distribution activity, where the fire risk questions are about high-bay storage, whether the detection and sprinkler design still matches what is actually stored, and escape routes that discharge into yards where vehicles are manoeuvring.

Local knowledge

Business and Industry in Hinckley

Hinckley grew on hosiery and knitwear and retains a manufacturing character, though today that sits alongside heavy logistics activity drawn by the M69 and the A5. The DIRFT and Magna Park corridors are within easy reach, and the town has a strong base of engineering, plastics and light industrial firms as well as an active retail centre.

Questions

Fire Risk Assessments in Hinckley: Your Questions

Our unit was built for something else entirely. What does that mean for fire safety?

It usually means the assessment needs to look harder than normal at compartmentation and escape. The original construction was designed around a different use, different occupancy numbers and often a different fire loading. Subdivision carried out later is frequently not fire-resisting, and escape routes that suited the old layout may now be too long or pass through areas of higher risk.

Do you assess distribution warehouses around Hinckley?

Yes. The recurring issues in high-bay storage are whether the sprinkler and detection design still matches the current storage height and commodity, travel distances to final exits across a large open floor, and escape routes that discharge into a yard where HGVs are manoeuvring. Storage arrangements change far more often than fire strategies get reviewed.

Do you carry out fire risk assessments in Hinckley?

Yes. We provide PAS 79 compliant fire risk assessments for all types of premises throughout Hinckley and the wider East Midlands, from offices and shops to care homes, HMOs, and industrial units.

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is a significant change, such as building work, a change of use, or after a fire or near miss. As a guide, many businesses review theirs at least annually.
