Our Fire Risk Assessment Service: What We Assess
Fire Hazards & Ignition Sources
We identify potential fire hazards, including electrical equipment, heating systems, cooking facilities, flammable materials, and hot work activities.
People At Risk
Special consideration for vulnerable persons, including employees, visitors, contractors, the elderly, young children, and people with disabilities who may need additional support during evacuation.
Fire Detection & Warning Systems
Evaluation of your fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, heat sensors, and emergency warning systems to ensure prompt alert in case of fire.
Emergency Routes & Exits
Assessment of escape routes, fire exits, signage, emergency lighting, and evacuation procedures to guarantee safe egress from all areas of your premises.
Fire Fighting Equipment
Review of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels, and sprinkler systems to ensure appropriate provision and maintenance.
Compartmentation & Fire Separation
Assessment of passive fire protection, including fire-resistant walls, floors, fire doors, and fire-stopping around cable and pipe penetrations to prevent fire and smoke spread between compartments.
During our Fire Risk Assessment, we’ll also examine your fire safety policies, procedures, staff training, drills, and record-keeping to maintain ongoing compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fire risk assessments be reviewed?
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly, specifically whenever significant changes occur to your premises, processes, or occupancy, or after any fire incident. We recommend scheduling reviews to maintain compliance and ensure ongoing protection.
What happens if my fire risk assessment identifies issues?
Our reports prioritise findings by risk level, giving you a clear action plan. We provide practical recommendations and can support you in implementing improvements. Not all issues require immediate action. We help you understand priorities and timescales for compliance.
Do I need a fire risk assessment for a small office?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to virtually all non-domestic premises regardless of size. Even small offices require a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment to protect occupants and meet legal duties.
Can I conduct my own fire risk assessment?
While you can conduct your own assessment if you have sufficient fire safety knowledge and competence, most businesses benefit from professional assessors who bring expertise, objectivity, and credibility. Our Tier 2 CFRAR qualification demonstrates the competence required for medium-complexity premises.
