A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement for all business premises and multi-occupancy buildings, ensuring compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Whether you own an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), a commercial unit, a school, or a shop, a professional fire risk assessment identifies hazards, evaluates risks, and provides actionable recommendations to keep your property safe and compliant.
Our certified fire risk assessors conduct thorough evaluations using the latest industry standards, ensuring your building meets fire safety regulations while reducing risks to occupants, staff, and visitors. By partnering with us, you can safeguard lives, prevent costly fines, and protect your property from potential fire hazards.
An Asbestos Survey is a legal requirement for many non-domestic properties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, helping duty holders identify and manage asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) safely. Whether you own an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), commercial premises, school, office, or industrial unit, an asbestos survey is essential to protect occupants and ensure compliance with UK law.
Asbestos can still be present in many buildings constructed before 2000, often hidden within materials such as insulation, ceiling tiles, pipe lagging, and floor coverings. When disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne and pose serious health risks, including long-term respiratory conditions.
Our qualified asbestos surveyors carry out comprehensive inspections, identifying the presence, location, and condition of any asbestos materials within your property. You will receive a clear, detailed report outlining findings and providing practical recommendations for management or removal where necessary.
By arranging a professional asbestos survey, you can protect the health of occupants, meet your legal obligations, avoid costly penalties, and ensure your property is safe for ongoing use or refurbishment.

Fire safety and asbestos management are not just legal obligations, they are critical steps in protecting your property, occupants, and business operations. A professionally conducted Fire Risk Assessment ensures compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, while an Asbestos Survey helps you meet your duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Together, these services provide a comprehensive approach to property safety and compliance.
Both Fire Risk Assessments and Asbestos Surveys are essential across a wide range of property types.
HMO landlords and property managers must have both in place to meet licensing requirements and ensure tenant safety. Commercial units, offices, and co-working spaces require fire risk assessments to maintain workplace safety, while asbestos surveys are necessary to identify and manage hidden risks within the building structure.
Retail premises such as shops and supermarkets must protect both staff and customers from fire hazards and potential asbestos exposure. Similarly, hotels, restaurants, bars, and leisure venues need robust fire safety measures alongside asbestos management to ensure public safety.
In the education sector, schools, colleges, nurseries, and universities must comply with strict safety regulations, making both fire risk assessments and asbestos surveys essential. Healthcare environments, including hospitals and care homes, have a heightened responsibility to protect vulnerable individuals, requiring thorough fire safety planning and asbestos risk management.
Industrial sites, factories, and warehouses often present higher risks due to machinery, storage, and materials. These environments require detailed fire prevention strategies as well as asbestos identification and control, particularly in older buildings.
Additionally, community buildings such as libraries, churches, and government properties must ensure compliance to protect visitors and staff. Event venues, theatres, and stadiums need clear evacuation strategies and safe building environments, while property developers and construction sites must carry out asbestos surveys before refurbishment or demolition, alongside fire safety planning during development.
Regardless of the property type or industry, both a Fire Risk Assessment and an Asbestos Survey are essential for legal compliance, risk reduction, and safeguarding lives.

A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a structured evaluation of a building to identify fire hazards, assess risks, and recommend measures to ensure safety and legal compliance. It is a legal requirement for businesses and multi-occupancy properties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
The responsible person, typically the property owner, employer, landlord, or building manager, is legally required to ensure a fire risk assessment is conducted and kept up to date. They may appoint a qualified fire risk assessor to carry out the assessment professionally.
Yes, if you own or manage a commercial building, HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), workplace, public building, or rented property, you are legally required to have a fire risk assessment in place to comply with UK fire safety regulations.
A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly, typically every 12 months, and updated whenever there are significant changes to the building structure, occupancy, or fire safety measures. High-risk premises may require more frequent reviews.
A fire risk assessment includes:
✔️ Identifying fire hazards and risks
✔️ Evaluating fire detection and alarm systems
✔️ Reviewing escape routes and emergency exits
✔️ Assessing fire-fighting equipment (extinguishers, sprinklers, etc.)
✔️ Examining fire safety training and procedures
✔️ Providing a detailed report with recommendations for compliance
Failing to have a fire risk assessment can result in fines, legal action, or even imprisonment in severe cases. If a fire occurs and you have not conducted an assessment, you may be held liable for damages, injuries, or fatalities, and insurance claims could be voided.
The time required depends on the size and complexity of the building. A small commercial unit may take 1-2 hours, while larger premises, such as schools or industrial buildings, may take several hours to complete a thorough assessment.
While you can conduct your own fire risk assessment if you are competent and knowledgeable in fire safety, it is strongly recommended to use a qualified fire risk assessor to ensure compliance with legal requirements and industry best practices.
The cost of a fire risk assessment varies depending on the size, type, and complexity of the building. Prices typically start from £150 for small businesses and increase for larger or high-risk premises, such as HMOs, schools, and industrial sites.
