- Identification of fire hazards including ignition sources, combustible materials and oxygen sources.
- Assessment of people at risk, including employees, residents, visitors and vulnerable occupants.
- Inspection of fire detection and warning systems.

Following the assessment, we provide a detailed report outlining findings, risk ratings and recommended actions for the responsible person to ensure compliance.
Fire Assessment FAQS
Do I need a Fire Risk Assessment?
In most non-domestic premises, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement under fire safety legislation. This includes offices, shops, warehouses, schools, care homes, communal areas within residential buildings and HMOs. A fire risk assessment helps identify potential hazards, protect occupants, and ensure your property complies with current fire safety regulations.
How Often Should a Fire Risk Assessment be Reviewed?
A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains accurate and effective. It is recommended that assessments are reviewed annually and whenever there are significant changes to the building, its use, occupancy levels, or fire safety arrangements. Regular reviews help ensure ongoing compliance and maintain a safe environment for occupants.
