Commercial fire risk assessments for business premises
In England and Wales, the responsible person for business premises must carry out a fire risk assessment and review it regularly, under article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. In Scotland, sections 53 and 54 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 put the same duty on employers and on anyone with control of the premises. We assess the whole site and hand you a prioritised action plan.
What's included in this service
A full site assessment under the fire safety law for your premises, whether that is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales or the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 in Scotland. We identify every hazard and evaluate every control, and the documentation is usually delivered within 5 working days.

Map every fire hazard
Your consultant surveys the site, identifying every fire hazard and evaluating every control. Findings feed an evacuation plan tailored to your layout and operations, so nothing gets missed between stock storage, plant areas and public spaces.
One usable report, prioritised
You get a written fire risk assessment and a prioritised action plan ranking immediate, short-term and long-term work. No 200-page document nobody reads. Clear actions, photographic evidence, usually delivered within 5 working days.
Stay on top of it
Fire safety responsibilities documented by role, plus a maintenance programme covering alarms, lighting and extinguisher testing schedules. A walkthrough with your consultant closes the loop, and we're here with phone and email support to help you when you need it.

Builders Merchants
Trade retail has its own fire picture: yard operations, loading, and a shop floor open to customers. We assess the whole site against the fire safety law for your premises, identifying the hazards and checking whether your controls actually hold up.
Warehousing & Logistics
Racking, constant MHE movement and busy loading bays all carry fire risk, and the night shift can't be left out of it. Our full-site assessment under the fire safety law for your premises covers every area people work in, on every shift.
Manufacturing & Engineering
Round-the-clock production, hot work and stored chemicals make fire a live risk on a manufacturing site. We assess the full site under the fire safety law for your premises and write controls that fit your output targets.
Garden Centres
Seasonal displays, families walking the aisles next to working forklifts, a café in the mix: a garden centre packs a lot into one site. Whether you run one or ten, we assess each in full against the fire safety law that applies to it.
Metal Stockholders
Heavy lifting, cutting and constant materials handling shape the fire risk in a stockholding yard. Our full-site assessment under the fire safety law for your premises is carried out by a consultant who knows how these sites actually run.
Childcare & Nurseries
A nursery is a building full of small children, inspected by fire safety enforcers as well as by its childcare regulator, so its fire risk sits in a category of its own. We assess the whole premises with that in mind, against the fire safety law that applies to it.
