The assessment follows the building, the people and the management routine
Fire risk is different in a managed office, a warehouse, a school, a healthcare setting or a multi-tenant building. The assessment should reflect the way people actually use the premises.
The final report should make actions clear enough for facilities teams, landlords and responsible persons to plan what happens next.

Commercial premises that often need assessment support
Workplaces and offices
Assessment support for offices, business units and workplaces where staff, visitors and contractors use the building daily.
Managed buildings

Sites with changes in use, larger occupancy, sleeping risk or operational constraints may need more careful scope before booking.

Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for almost every non-domestic premises in England and Wales must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and keep it up to date. Where five or more people are employed, the significant findings must be recorded.
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no fixed legal interval, but the assessment must be reviewed regularly and whenever there is a significant change to the building, its use or occupancy. Many businesses review annually and carry out a full re-assessment every one to two years, or sooner in higher-risk premises.
What is the difference between a fire risk assessment and a fire safety inspection?
A fire risk assessment is the responsible person’s own duty under the Fire Safety Order – identifying hazards, evaluating risk and setting an action plan. A fire safety inspection is usually an audit by the local fire and rescue service to check compliance. A good assessment helps you pass an inspection.
Who can carry out a fire risk assessment?
The law requires a competent person. For anything beyond the simplest premises, that means an assessor with the training, experience and accreditation to do the job – our assessors work to the PAS 79 methodology and hold BAFE SP205 accreditation.
How much does a commercial fire risk assessment cost?
Cost depends on the size and layout of the premises, whether there is sleeping accommodation, and the scope required. We provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
What does a fire risk assessment include?
A PAS 79 assessment covers the building and its use, the people at risk, fire hazards and ignition sources, existing fire precautions (detection, alarm, escape routes, signage, extinguishers), and a prioritised action plan to reduce risk to an acceptable level, all set out in a written report.
