Fire risk assessment services that protect your business
Whether you run a shop, office, care home or industrial site, if people use your premises, you’re legally required to have a fire risk assessment in place and a clear system for reporting incidents swiftly.
But it’s not just about ticking a box. For most business owners, the thought of everything they’ve built going up in flames is unthinkable. That’s why this isn’t optional, it’s your legal duty under UK law. But without the right expertise, staying compliant can be a real challenge. Get it wrong, and you risk unlimited fines, prosecution, or even permanent closure.
That’s where we come in. Our fire risk assessment service supports businesses across all types of environments. From low-risk offices to high-risk, complex sites. Certified, experienced, and fully up to date with the latest regulations, we provide clear, practical advice based on real risks in your workplace.
Whether you need a one-off check, staff training, or ongoing protection through our retained service, we’ll help you stay compliant and safeguard what matters most: your people, your reputation and your business.

About our risk-based fire safety advisory services
At the heart of our business health and safety service is a risk-based approach to fire risk assessments. We know no two businesses face the same challenges. A High Street retailer carries very different risks compared to a manufacturer or care home.
That’s why we tailor the delivery of our assessments and annual reviews to match your specific risk profile. By assigning the right level of support (from an IFSM member and grade 1-3 TFRAR consultant) and combining onsite and remote reviews, we deliver the ideal balance of expert protection and cost-effective value for your business.
