A Fire Risk Assessment is a systematic review of your commercial premises to identify potential fire hazards, assess the risks to employees, customers, and visitors, and determine the necessary measures to ensure their safety and achieve legal compliance under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
The law defines the ‘Responsible Person’. This is typically the employer, the building owner, the landlord, or anyone else with control of the premises, such as a facilities manager or managing agent. Ultimately, it is their legal duty to ensure a suitable and sufficient FRA is in place.
Legally, an FRA must be kept under regular review. It is recommended to review it at least annually. However, a review must be carried out immediately if there are significant changes to the building (e.g., layout, use), the number of occupants, or if a near-miss or fire occurs.
Non-compliance is a serious offence. The London Fire Brigade can issue an Enforcement Notice requiring you to make improvements, or a Prohibition Notice that legally forces your business to close until major faults are fixed. You also risk unlimited fines and even imprisonment for serious breaches.
The duration depends entirely on the size and complexity of your premises. A small shop might take 1-2 hours, while a large, multi-floor office building could take half a day or more. We will provide an estimated timeframe when you book.

A commercial FRA for a mixed-use building must consider the overall fire safety strategy, including how the different parts of the building interact. It will assess risks from the commercial premises to the residential areas (and vice-versa), particularly regarding escape routes and fire compartmentation. However, the residential flats may require a separate, specific assessment for their internal areas. We can advise on the best approach for your specific property.
