Professional Fire Risk Assessments in Market Harborough
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 Market Harborough. Choosing a local consultancy means prompt site visits and local knowledge. We understand the building types and fire safety challenges specific to your area.
Market Harborough has an unusually well-preserved historic centre, and a great deal of that building stock is in active commercial use. Georgian and Victorian buildings converted to offices, shops and restaurants routinely have timber floors and staircases, a single stair serving every level, and residential accommodation above reached through or beside the commercial premises.
That combination accounts for most of the significant findings we raise in the town. Away from the centre, the picture is more conventional: light industrial and distribution units where the usual issues are storage encroaching on escape routes and fire doors that no longer close.
Business and Industry in Market Harborough
Market Harborough is a prosperous south Leicestershire market town with a professional services and retail core, a significant food and drink sector, and light engineering and distribution around its edges. Many local employers are small, owner-managed businesses without an in-house health and safety function, which is precisely the sort of organisation the competent person duty is aimed at.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our premises are in a listed building in the town centre. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is common here. Listing constrains what you can physically alter, so the emphasis shifts to management controls, detection chosen and sited sympathetically, and agreeing with the conservation officer what work is acceptable. The duty under the Fire Safety Order is unchanged by listing; only the means of meeting it are constrained.
We have flats above our shop. Whose responsibility is the fire risk assessment?
The responsible person for the common parts, usually the freeholder or managing agent, holds that duty, and you hold it for your own commercial premises. In practice these buildings need looking at as a whole, because a fire starting in the shop is exactly what threatens the people living above it, and a fragmented approach tends to leave the escape route unowned.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments in Market Harborough?
Yes. We provide PAS 79 compliant fire risk assessments for all types of premises throughout Market Harborough 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.
