A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for almost every non-domestic building in the UK, and for HMOs and blocks of flats. It identifies fire hazards on your premises, evaluates who’s at risk, and sets out the action needed to bring your building in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We carry out fire risk assessments across London for commercial, residential, HMO, and multi-occupancy properties. Our reports are prepared by qualified, accredited assessors and turned around within 24–48 hours, so you’re never left waiting on compliance you’re legally required to have in place.
With a proven track record of experience and 100+ assessments completed across London, our qualified and accredited assessors know how to spot real risks, not just tick boxes. We’re fully insured, and every assessment we carry out follows current standards, including PAS 79-1:2020 and BS 9999.
Our advice is independent and impartial based on what your building actually needs, not on upselling. With a quick report turnaround, you get accurate, defensible documentation without the wait.

Fire risk doesn’t look the same in a warehouse as it does in a care home, so our approach shifts depending on the building type and the people using it.
The law doesn’t leave much room for interpretation here. If you are responsible for a building that isn’t someone’s private home, you need a fire risk assessment, and you need to be able to prove it exists.
Not every fire risk assessment goes to the same depth, and knowing which type applies to your building can save you from paying for more than you need, or worse, less than you’re legally required to have. The distinction comes down to two questions: does the assessment cover just the shared areas or extend into a sample of individual flats too, and does it involve invasive checks opening up walls or ceilings or stay purely visual?

We look at every fire danger and see who it affects. Then, we create an action plan. This plan tells you what to fix right now and what can wait.
You get a full written report when we finish. This acts as proof that you checked your building. It is a legal must-have if you employ five or more people.
We will set a date for your next review. If anything changes in your building before then, we can update your plan to keep you fully safe.
A fire risk assessment report is only useful if the findings actually get acted on. Too often, the assessment gets filed away, and the action plan never turns into real work, which leaves the building no safer than before, just with better paperwork about the problem.
Remediation is the physical side of fire safety: fixing what the assessment flagged. Common works include:
