Why a Fire Risk Assessment Is Legally Required
In England and Wales, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This legislation places responsibility on the responsible person, such as a landlord, employer or managing agent, to ensure that a suitable and sufficient assessment is carried out and maintained. At Safetec Protection, we help clients meet this obligation with professional, compliant assessments tailored to their property type and level of risk.
The framework has since evolved through the Fire Safety Act 2021, which clarifies that assessments must include the structure and external walls of multi-occupied residential buildings, as well as flat entrance doors that open into communal areas. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, effective from January 2023, introduced further duties for responsible persons in high-rise and multi-occupied premises, such as providing information to residents, maintaining evacuation plans, and sharing data with local fire services.
Even smaller organisations and landlords must now record their findings and keep the assessment up to date. Regular reviews are essential, particularly when there are changes to occupancy, layout or fire safety systems.
Our approach aligns with the five-step method, covering hazard identification, risk evaluation, control measures, recording and review.

What Our Fire Risk Assessment Includes
At Safetec Protection, every fire risk assessment begins with a detailed on-site visit carried out by one of our qualified fire safety assessors. We take time to understand the property, its use, occupancy levels and any existing fire safety measures before conducting a thorough inspection. Our process is designed to identify potential hazards, assess the adequacy of existing precautions and recommend clear, practical steps to reduce risk.
Each assessment follows the principles set out in PAS 79-1:2020 and PAS 79-2:2020, the recognised British Standards for fire risk assessments in non-domestic and housing premises. During the visit, we examine all relevant areas, including escape routes, fire doors, alarm systems, emergency lighting, signage and fire-fighting equipment. Photographic evidence is gathered throughout to provide complete transparency and visual clarity for our clients.
Following the inspection, we compile a comprehensive report that clearly outlines significant findings, levels of risk and prioritised actions required to achieve compliance. Our recommendations are written in plain, actionable language to help responsible persons understand what must be done, why it matters and how to address it effectively. This approach guarantees that each Safetec Protection fire risk assessment not only ensures compliance but also offers a clear plan for making your premises safer.
Those who typically need a fire risk assessments include:
- Owners and managers of residential blocks with communal hallways, stairwells, or shared entrances
- Letting and estate agents overseeing flats, HMOs, and multi-use properties
- Commercial landlords with office buildings, retail spaces, or industrial units
- Right to manage (RTM) companies and resident-led management boards
- Developers and freeholders preparing properties for occupation or sale
If your property contains shared or publicly accessed areas, you are almost certainly required to undertake a fire risk assessment. At Safetec Protection, we support clients across all sectors, ensuring that responsibilities are clearly understood and fully met.

Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment and How Often to Review It
Under the current fire safety law, a fire risk assessment is required for almost all non-domestic and multi-occupied residential premises. This includes blocks of flats, houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), commercial properties and shared workplaces. The responsible person, whether a landlord, employer or property manager must ensure that a suitable and sufficient assessment is carried out and regularly reviewed to remain valid.
In blocks of flats and HMOs, the assessment must cover all communal areas, including hallways, stairwells, lobbies, and external walls. It should also consider the safety of escape routes and flat entrance doors that open into these shared spaces. For commercial premises and workplaces, the assessment must examine how the building is used, the nature of activities carried out, and any specific fire hazards related to materials, equipment or processes.
Fire risk assessments are not a one-off obligation. They should be reviewed at regular intervals and updated immediately if there are significant changes to the building layout, the type of occupants, the use of the premises or the installation of new fire safety equipment. Reviews are also recommended after any fire incident or near-miss. At Safetec Protection, we help clients maintain compliance by scheduling timely reassessments and ensuring that all findings reflect the most up-to-date conditions within the property.

Fire Risk Assessment Pricing and What Affects Cost
The cost of a fire risk assessment depends on the unique characteristics of each property. At Safetec Protection, we consider factors such as the building’s size and layout, the type of occupancy, and existing fire safety measures when preparing a quotation. Larger or more complex premises naturally require a more detailed assessment and reporting process.
Our pricing always reflects the time, expertise, and depth of evaluation needed to ensure compliance and safety. Each assessment includes a full on-site inspection, clear documentation of findings, and practical recommendations for improvement.
For an accurate quotation based on your property, speak with our team. We can also advise on combined packages for related services such as fire door inspections or emergency lighting testing to help you manage compliance efficiently.
Sectors We Serve
We provide comprehensive fire risk assessments across a wide range of sectors, supporting both residential and commercial clients. Our expertise extends from residential blocks and HMOs to offices, retail environments, and warehousing facilities. We also assist hospitality venues and educational institutions, ensuring that each property meets its specific regulatory obligations and maintains the highest standards of fire safety.
Our fire safety inspection services examine the full environment, with particular attention to the following:
- Escape Routes: Corridors, stairwells, and exits must be free from obstruction, well lit, and clearly signed.
- Fire Doors: Each door is inspected for condition, closure mechanisms, and compliance with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations.
- Emergency Lighting: Systems are checked for operation and suitability to ensure safe evacuation in low-visibility conditions.
- Fire Alarms and Detectors: Alarm coverage and functionality are verified, especially in blocks where early warning is critical.
- Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs): Where installed, these are tested and assessed for ventilation efficiency and compliance.
- Electrical Installations: Common area circuits are reviewed for signs of overloading, poor maintenance, or deterioration.
- Combustible Storage: Risks related to bins, stored items, or flammable liquids are identified and addressed.
Each fire risk assessment survey we undertake includes detailed observations and recommendations, ensuring the responsible person is aware of both obvious and hidden hazards. These insights help drive meaningful action, not just regulatory box-ticking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a PAS 79 fire risk assessment include?
A PAS 79 fire risk assessment follows a nationally recognised methodology that ensures consistency and compliance across all building types. During our process, we inspect the entire premises, review management procedures, identify potential hazards, and document significant findings. The resulting report outlines prioritised actions and practical recommendations to help duty holders achieve and maintain full fire safety compliance.
Do blocks of flats and HMOs need fire risk assessments?
Yes, both blocks of flats and HMOs are legally required to have a current fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Act and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. These assessments ensure that communal areas, escape routes, and fire doors are adequately maintained and that residents are protected through effective fire safety management and documentation.
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and after any significant change, such as building alterations, changes in occupancy, or the introduction of new fire safety measures. Even if no major adjustments are made, it is recommended that responsible persons review their assessments at least annually to confirm ongoing compliance with current fire safety legislation and best-practice standards.
Can I complete the assessment myself?
Only individuals who meet the legal definition of a ‘competent person’ can safely and lawfully carry out a fire risk assessment. This means having suitable training, knowledge, and experience in fire safety. For most premises, engaging a qualified assessor, such as our team at Safetec Protection, ensures your assessment is detailed, compliant, and accepted by enforcement authorities if audited.
What changed under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022?
These regulations introduced new duties for responsible persons managing multi-occupied residential buildings. They include requirements to check flat entrance doors and communal fire doors quarterly, display clear wayfinding signage, and share essential safety information with residents and local fire services. The changes strengthen accountability and improve transparency in building fire safety management.
What happens if high-risk issues are identified?
When high-risk concerns are found, they are clearly documented and prioritised in your report, accompanied by actionable guidance to reduce immediate danger. We advise on suitable remediation measures and can support you through follow-up inspections if needed. Our goal is to help you resolve all significant risks quickly, restoring full compliance and protecting lives and property.
How long does a fire risk assessment take and when will I receive the report?
The time required varies depending on your premises’ size and complexity, but most site visits are completed within a few hours. After the assessment, we prepare your detailed, PAS 79-compliant report, which is usually delivered within a few working days. This allows you to review findings and act promptly on any recommended improvements.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost?
Costs depend on several factors, including the building’s type, layout, occupancy, and the number of areas to be assessed. While every project is different, our pricing is transparent and competitive. We focus on delivering high-quality, detailed reports that represent real value by helping clients meet legal obligations and improve fire safety standards efficiently.
Do I need to keep a written record of my fire risk assessment?
Yes, as of October 2023, all premises in England must maintain a written record of their fire risk assessment, regardless of staff numbers. This record serves as formal proof of compliance under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and demonstrates due diligence in managing fire safety responsibilities within your building or business premises.
