A fire risk assessment that sits in a drawer isn't compliance — it's a liability with a date on it. We assess to PAS 79 methodology, hand you a prioritised action plan in plain English, then manage the fire doors, extinguishers, signage and emergency lighting that plan calls for, so the document and the building stay in step.
Every assessment is carried out and reported against the specific standard your premises and its occupants are held to.
Requires a "suitable and sufficient" fire risk assessment for every non-domestic premises and the communal areas of residential blocks in England and Wales.
The published standard for structuring a fire risk assessment — hazard identification, evaluation of precautions and a prioritised action plan.
Removed the fine cap for Fire Safety Order breaches and introduced additional duties for buildings over 18m or 7 storeys.
Sets specific duties for buildings over 11m, including fire door checks and resident fire safety information.
Licensed HMOs need a fire risk assessment that satisfies both the Fire Safety Order and the local authority's licensing conditions.
The recognised competency schemes for HMOs, residential blocks and higher-risk buildings, referenced directly in government guidance.
We score each identified risk using the standard five-point PAS 79 rating, so you know exactly how urgent every finding is before we leave site.
Immediate danger to life — work must stop or the risk must be removed on site
Risk reduction required urgently — action plan item with a short deadline
Efforts to reduce risk should be made — scheduled into the action plan
No additional controls required — monitored at the next review
No further action needed — noted for the record
Every non-trivial finding is prioritised with an owner and a deadline, not just listed
The right review interval depends on occupancy, sleeping risk and building height — we scope to the sector and the building, not a generic annual tick-box.

The Fire Safety Order doesn't set a fixed interval, but most assessors recommend a formal review every 1-3 years, and sooner after any material change to the building, occupancy or a near-miss. Higher-risk premises such as care homes and hotels are typically reviewed more frequently.
The cheapest tier is usually a desktop pro-forma completed without a site visit — borough licensing officers and fire inspectors routinely reject these. A competent, site-attending PAS 79 assessment by a BAFE SP205 or NFRAR-registered assessor costs more because it includes proper escape route analysis, photographic evidence and a defendable written scheme of control.
Intolerable risks are addressed immediately where possible — for example propping open a fire door found wedged shut. Substantial risks go into the action plan with a short deadline. Moderate and tolerable findings are scheduled and monitored, and trivial findings are simply recorded.
No — a fire risk assessment is a broader review of hazards, escape routes and precautions across the whole premises. Fire alarm servicing, fire door inspection and emergency lighting testing are individual maintenance items that sit underneath the action plan a fire risk assessment produces.
