Fire risk assessment
A written fire risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and must be reviewed regularly to remain current. Assessments cover residential and low to medium risk commercial buildings across London.
What an assessment covers
- Potential ignition sources and how they're managed
- Wall and ceiling linings, and their fire performance
- Fire doors, self-closing devices, and compartmentation
- Escape routes, signage, and emergency lighting
- Evacuation strategy — checked against what's actually installed
- Fire alarm and detection system, and its maintenance regime
- Fixed fire-fighting equipment, where provided
- Fire safety management arrangements and record-keeping
The report
A written report identifying what's compliant and what isn't. Findings are separated into controls already in place and actions still required, so it's clear what needs to happen next. Each action states the fix, not just the fault. The report is provided as a PDF.
Assessment types
Residential — Type 1
Non-intrusive assessment of the communal areas in purpose-built blocks of flats and converted houses, to BS 9792:2025. The standard scope for landlords and managing agents under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021.
Residential — Type 3
A more detailed non-intrusive assessment to BS 9792:2025, extending beyond the communal areas to all parts of the building. Typically used where a Type 1 has flagged concerns needing closer examination, or where the building's history or complexity calls for it from the outset.
Commercial
Non-intrusive assessment of low to medium risk commercial premises, including offices, shops, restaurants, doctor's surgeries, pubs and similar, to PAS 79-1:2020.
