Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly, typically annually, or sooner if there are significant changes to the premises, occupancy, or fire safety arrangements. High-risk premises like care homes and HMOs may require more frequent reviews.

Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement?

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. This includes common areas of blocks of flats, HMOs, and all workplaces.

What is a sleeping risk fire risk assessment?

A sleeping risk assessment is required for premises where people sleep, such as care homes, hotels, HMOs, and hostels. These assessments are more detailed because sleeping occupants are at greater risk and may need more time to evacuate.

Do you inspect fire doors?

Yes, we inspect fire doors as part of our fire risk assessments. We check for correct certification, condition, self-closing devices, intumescent strips, smoke seals, and gaps. We can provide recommendations for repairs or replacements.

What is compartmentation and do you check it?

Compartmentation divides a building into fire-resistant sections to prevent fire spread. We visually assess compartmentation as part of our assessment, checking fire barriers, protected routes, and service penetrations. We do not conduct destructive surveys.

How much does a fire risk assessment cost?

Costs depend on the size, complexity, and type of premises. We provide free, no-obligation quotes. Contact us with details of your property and we will give you a competitive fixed price.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and updated whenever there are significant changes to your premises, such as alterations to the building, changes in use, or after a fire or near miss. For most premises, an annual review is recommended as good practice.
Who is responsible for the fire risk assessment?
The "responsible person" is legally required to ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out. This is typically the employer, building owner, landlord, or managing agent. While you can carry out the assessment yourself if you are competent, many organisations choose to use a qualified professional.
What happens if I do not have a fire risk assessment?
Failure to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is a criminal offence. Enforcement authorities can issue enforcement notices, prohibition notices (closing your premises), or prosecute. Fines can be unlimited and responsible persons can face imprisonment for serious breaches.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost?
The cost varies depending on the size and complexity of your premises. Please contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific requirements.
What is PAS 79 and why does it matter?
PAS 79 is a Publicly Available Specification published by the British Standards Institution. It provides a framework for carrying out fire risk assessments in buildings, ensuring a consistent and thorough approach. A PAS 79 compliant assessment demonstrates that your fire risk assessment meets recognised industry standards.
How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The site visit typically takes between 1-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of your premises. A small office might take an hour, while a large warehouse or multi-storey building will take longer. We will give you an estimate when you book.
