We provide professional fire risk assessments in, Oxfordshire, London, Birmingham, Bristol and Home Counties. Helping businesses and property owners meet their legal obligations under fire safety legislation. All assessments are carried out in line with PAS 79, the recognised standard for fire risk assessment methodology, ensuring clear, structured, and fully compliant reporting.

Our approach is practical and straightforward—identifying real risks, prioritising actions, and giving you clear guidance you can actually implement.

What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a systematic review of your premises to identify fire hazards, evaluate the level of risk, and determine what measures are needed to ensure safety.

This includes:

  • Identifying sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen

  • Assessing people at risk

  • Reviewing fire detection and warning systems

  • Evaluating escape routes and emergency procedures

  • Recommending improvements where required

Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “Responsible Person” (such as an employer, landlord, or building owner) is legally required to:

  • Carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment

  • Implement appropriate fire safety measures

  • Keep the assessment under regular review

  • Act on any identified risks

Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, fines, or prosecution.

Our assessments are completed in line with PAS 79 guidance, giving you confidence that your documentation meets recognised industry standards and is suitable for inspection by enforcing authorities.
