Our Process
Initial Consultation
We discuss your premises, occupancy, and any specific concerns. You tell us about your building and how it is used, and we explain what the assessment involves.

Report Preparation
We prepare a detailed, PAS 79:2020 compliant report with clear findings, risk ratings, and a prioritised action plan with recommended timescales.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and updated whenever there are significant changes to your premises, such as alterations to the building, changes in use, or after a fire or near miss. For most premises, an annual review is recommended as good practice.
Who is responsible for the fire risk assessment?
The "responsible person" is legally required to ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out. This is typically the employer, building owner, landlord, or managing agent. While you can carry out the assessment yourself if you are competent, many organisations choose to use a qualified professional.
What happens if I do not have a fire risk assessment?
Failure to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is a criminal offence. Enforcement authorities can issue enforcement notices, prohibition notices (closing your premises), or prosecute. Fines can be unlimited and responsible persons can face imprisonment for serious breaches.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost?
The cost varies depending on the size and complexity of your premises. Please contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific requirements.
What is PAS 79 and why does it matter?
PAS 79 is a Publicly Available Specification published by the British Standards Institution. It provides a framework for carrying out fire risk assessments in buildings, ensuring a consistent and thorough approach. A PAS 79 compliant assessment demonstrates that your fire risk assessment meets recognised industry standards.
How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The site visit typically takes between 1-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of your premises. A small office might take an hour, while a large warehouse or multi-storey building will take longer. We will give you an estimate when you book.
Do I need to be present during the assessment?
It is helpful to have someone available who knows the building and can provide access to all areas. They should also be able to answer questions about how the premises are used, staffing levels, and existing fire safety procedures.
What is the Fire Safety Act 2021 and how does it affect me?
The Fire Safety Act 2021 clarified that the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the structure, external walls, and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings. It also introduced requirements to share fire risk assessment information with residents. If you manage a block of flats, these changes may affect your obligations.
