Do I need a Fire Risk Assessment for a Commercial Property?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that fire risk assessments are carried out in any commercial properties in the UK, including fire safety precautions to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire and identify persons at risk. This includes offices, factories, restaurants and other commercial entities which means the responsible person will need a fire safety risk assessment for their property.
Our expert fire risk assessors will attend your property, liaise with the responsible person and conduct a thorough review of your non-domestic building. A comprehensive report is then issued with findings and recommendations along with a timescale of when the work should be completed, where applicable.
What our Fire Risk Assessors will cover in your Commercial Property
Included within your Commercial Fire Safety Risk Assessment, we will assess:
- Emergency routes and exits, including those for vulnerable people such as the elderly and those with disabilities
- Existing fire detection and warning systems
- Fire fighting equipment and fire safety systems

How often should a commercial fire risk assessment be reviewed?
While there’s no fixed legal timeline, it’s recommended that commercial fire risk assessments are reviewed at least once a year. Regular reviews help ensure the assessment remains accurate and relevant to the current use of the building and any associated risks.
When should a fire risk assessment be updated outside of the annual review?
A fire risk assessment should be reviewed immediately if there’s been a significant change to the premises — such as building layout changes, a shift in occupancy, or new equipment installations. These updates are part of your legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
