Fire risk assessment for properties in Bristol & the South West  

A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement for most premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It’s the first step in protecting lives, property, and ensuring compliance with fire safety legislation.

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

It is a review of your premises to:

• Identify potential fire hazards

• Evaluate the risk of a fire starting and spreading

• Determine who might be at risk

• Recommend practical steps to reduce those risks

• Ensure effective fire prevention and evacuation measures are in place

Our qualified assessors provide clear, easy-to-follow reports that highlight what’s working, what needs improvement and how to stay compliant.

Who is Responsible?

By law, the “responsible person” must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out.

This typically includes commercial buildings and rented dwellings so examples include:

• Employers

• Owners, landlords, or managing agents of properties

• Occupiers or those in control of premises

• If you share a building with other businesses, responsibilities may be shared or overlapping, making cooperation essential.
