Fire Risk Assessments in London

We carry out fire risk assessments for commercial and residential premises across London, including offices, retail premises, residential buildings, care settings and other workplaces. Assessments are carried out by qualified fire risk assessors, with any actions clearly set out and prioritised in the report.

When is a Fire Risk Assessment Required?

If you’re the employer, owner, landlord or occupier of premises covered by fire safety law, it is your duty to make sure the fire risks are properly assessed and that any necessary action is taken.


Beyond meeting the legal requirement, a good fire risk assessment gives you a clear picture of the fire safety arrangements already in place and what, if anything, needs to be improved.

Legal Requirement

Identifies Actions Required

Recorded Assessment

Supports Ongoing Fire Safety Management

The aim is to give you a clear view of the fire safety arrangements already in place, where any gaps or weaknesses remain and what improvements are needed to address them.

How We Carry Out Your Fire Risk Assessment

Fire risk assessment planning and evacuation information

Before the Assessment

We confirm the premises, scope of the assessment and any relevant information that will be helpful to have available before our visit. 

Where available, this may include:

Previous Fire Risk Assessment

Maintenance & Testing Records

Evacuation Arrangements

During the Site Assessment

We carry out a non-intrusive inspection of the premises, considering fire hazards, means of escape, fire protection measures, occupants and the management of fire safety. Our assessment approach is outlined below.

Step 1: Identify Fire Hazards

identify

We identify fire hazards within your premises.

​

  • Combustible materials stored close to ignition sources;

  • Overloaded sockets or damaged cables;

  • Flammable liquids stored incorrectly.

After the Assessment

Example Commercial FRA Contents

Following the site visit, we review the findings and prepare your fire risk assessment using the methodology appropriate to the premises. Assessments for commercial and other non-housing premises are structured in line with

PAS 79-1:2020, while assessments for housing premises follow BS 9792:2025, where applicable.

 

The report will set out the significant findings, the fire safety measures already in place and any further actions required, with recommendations prioritised so it is clear what needs to be addressed.

No two premises have exactly the same fire safety arrangements. The assessment takes account of the building, its use, occupancy, people who may need assistance to evacuate and the fire precautions already in place.

Hospitality Premises

Community Buildings

Warehouses

Residential Buildings

HMOs

Care and Supported Living Settings

We assess a wide range of premises across London, from individual offices and shops to HMOs, residential blocks and multi-occupied buildings. Where responsibility is shared between occupiers, landlords or managing agents, we take account of the areas and fire safety arrangements within the agreed scope and identify where further information may be needed.
