We provide Fire Risk Assessments for every type of building!

For residential properties, it is the landlord's responsibility to provide a fire risk assessment, for the communal areas only, on any block of flats. Within the commercial sector, anyone with control of a commercial premises holds the responsibility for providing a fire risk assessment. This can be an employer, the property owner, the landlord or even the occupier.

For domestic properties, a block of flats is classed as any purpose-built unit containing two or more dwellings, or a house that has been converted into two or more flats. While The Fire Risk Assessment is only required on the communal areas, it must also include the front doors of the individual flats.

The commercial sector includes all workplaces, commercial properties, premises members of the public have access to, accommodation with paying guests, and the common areas to any Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO).

If you share a commercial premises, for the common or shared areas it is the responsibility of the landlord, freeholder or agents to provide the fire risk assessment. While the responsibility may be shared for the premises in general, you will need to liaise to arrange the appointment of your fire risk assessment for the safety of the people on the premises.

What do I get with a Fire Risk Asseswsment

What do I get?

After the assessment, the surveyor will write up your report which will highlight any fire risks. The report will give an overall risk rating of the property along with how soon any action needs to be carried out and the timescale of the next review. The risk presented by each element of the property will be categorised as no intervention needed, intervention and action plan needed, or not applicable.

If any intervention is advised, you will need to address these in the first instance. Failure to do so puts yourself and others at risk. It will also make any insurance void in the event of an incident.

How long is a Fire Risk Assessment valid for

How often do I need one?

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed and updated regularly, generally it is recommended that this happens annually.

If a change occurs in the property that deems the fire risk assessment incorrect or outdated (e.g. change of layout), then the fire risk assessment should be updated as soon as possible after the changes.

What does a Fire Risk Assessment Involve
What happens during a Fire Risk Assessment

What does the survey involve?

Easy EPC have a highly skilled and competent team of fire risk surveyors, operating across the UK, that can assess any property. Our assessors have had all of the relevant training, along with having the correct safety equipment and insurance.

The surveyor will follow certain guidelines and steps to record the relevant information on site before preparing your report.

The surveyor will need to discuss, with a specified point of contact, who could be at risk in and about the premises. Next they will identify the actual fire hazards, which includes all potential sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen.

Following this, the surveyor will assess the risk in comparison to any existing fire safety measures relating to the premises.

How to prepare for a Fire Risk Assessment

Do I need to prepare anything before a Fire Risk Assessment?

Our assessor will require a point of contact to discuss who could be at risk in and about the premises, this must be arranged prior to the appointment.

If you have any of the following documentation or record logs for the property, please send it over or provide it to our assessor on the day:

Documentation

  • Fire Safety Policy
  • Emergency Plan
  • Fire Alarm and Fire Extinguisher Servicing
  • EICR & Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), and Gas Safety Certificate
  • Emergency Lighting, Lift and Dry Riser Servicing

Record Logs

  • Fire Safety Checks (including fire doors)
  • Smoke Vents

If you’ve had any communication (letters, calls, visits, notices, etc.) from your Local Fire Authority in the last 12 months, please let us know.

If you do not have some or any of the documents and records listed above, this is also okay, the list is generic and not all parts may be relevant for your property.

Your Questions, Our Answers

A fire risk assessment is an on-site survey and report that identifies potential fire hazards and rates the risk, and improvements to reduce risk if necessary.

You will need to get a fire risk assessment if you are any of the following:

  • In control of a commercial property (owner, landlord, property manager, employer, etc.)
  • A landlord of a domestic property that is not a single private dwelling.
  • In control of a domestic property that has paying guests (like a B&B).

An example of a single private dwelling would be a house occupied by only one household.

Commercial premises are legally required to have a fire risk assessment that is written down and recorded.

Domestic properties that are not “single private dwellings” are also legally required to have a fire risk assessment on the common areas of the property. For example, in a block of flats the stairwells, lifts, reception areas, garages, hallways, etc. will need a fire risk assessment. An example of a single private dwelling would be a house occupied by only one household.

HMO fire risk assessment requirements vary depending on locality.

Domestic properties with paying guests (guest houses, B&Bs, etc.) will also require a fire risk assessment.

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed and updated regularly, generally it is recommended that this happens annually.

If a change occurs in the property that deems the fire risk assessment incorrect or outdated (e.g. change of layout), in which case the fire risk assessment should be updated soon after the changes.

Fire safety regulations say that the person completing the fire risk assessment should be “competent”, so they need to be knowledgeable enough to identify the complexity of fire risks potentially present at the property.

For small, uncomplicated properties you may be able to complete your own fire risk assessment following the government's fire risk assessment checklist. However, for larger or more complicated properties it’s advisable to have a trained professional complete your fire risk assessment for you.
