Our Fire Risk Assessment Process

We have refined our process to be as efficient and non-disruptive as possible, ensuring you can continue with your day-to-day operations with minimal interruption.

  1. Initial Consultation: We start by discussing your specific needs and gathering information about your property. This helps us understand the scope of the assessment and provide you with a transparent quote.
  2. On-Site Visit: One of our expert assessors will visit your Reading premises at a time that suits you. They will conduct a thorough physical inspection, covering all aspects required by law. This includes:
    • Identifying potential sources of ignition.
    • Pinpointing materials that could easily burn.
    • Assessing the safety of occupants, particularly those who may be vulnerable.
    • Checking fire detection and warning systems.
    • Evaluating escape routes and emergency lighting.
    • Inspecting fire-fighting equipment, like extinguishers.
    • Reviewing your existing fire safety management procedures and records.
  4. Detailed Report & Action Plan: Following the visit, we compile our findings into a comprehensive report. This document will detail any areas of non-compliance or concern and provide a clear, prioritised action plan. Each recommendation is explained, so you understand why it’s necessary and how to implement it.
  5. Post-Assessment Support: We are available to discuss the report with you, ensuring you fully understand every point. Whether you need clarification on a specific recommendation or advice on sourcing a reputable contractor, our team of experts is here to help.

Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment in Reading?

Under UK law, if you are responsible for a non-domestic property, you are legally obligated to carry out a fire risk assessment. This applies to you if you are:

  • An employer or self-employed person with business premises.
  • A landlord of a commercial property.
  • The owner or manager of a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
  • A block manager responsible for the common areas of flats or apartments.
  • A trustee or charity running a village hall, community centre, or place of worship.

Essentially, if anyone other than the domestic residents of a single private home uses your property, you are the ‘Responsible Person’ and must ensure a suitable and sufficient assessment is completed. Failure to do so can lead to severe penalties, including hefty fines and even imprisonment. More importantly, it puts lives at risk.
