Commercial Fire Risk Assessment London

Professional fire risk assessments for commercial properties, helping identify hazards, improve fire safety measures, and maintain compliance with UK regulations.

Fire Risk Assessment Explained

Commercial Fire Risk Assessment London – What it is?

A Commercial Fire Risk Assessment is a professional assessment of your business premises to identify fire hazards, evaluate risk, and set out practical actions to reduce risk and improve compliance. It supports safe occupation and provides written documentation that may be required for landlords, tenants, managing agents, insurers, or internal health and safety records. At London Safety Certificate, we assess commercial premises across London and provide a clear written report with a prioritised action plan so you know exactly what needs attention and what can be scheduled.
Inspection Scope

What’s included

Our Commercial Fire Risk Assessment London service includes an on-site inspection of the premises (and communal areas where applicable), identification of fire hazards and people at risk, and review of escape routes, exits and key safety controls relevant to the building’s use.

You’ll receive a written Fire Risk Assessment report with a practical, prioritised action plan (what to fix first vs later). Physical remedial works, fire alarm installation, emergency lighting installation, and fire door replacement are not included unless agreed separately.

Common Safety Findings

Common issues found in commercial premises

Common issues we often identify include blocked or poorly managed escape routes (stock/storage in corridors), poor housekeeping around combustibles, inadequate signage where required, kitchen/ignition source controls not reflected in procedures, and weak management controls (no clear responsibilities or routine checks).

Your report prioritises what matters most first, so urgent safety issues are clear and you can plan improvements without guesswork.

Commercial Fire Risk Assessment FAQs

(01) How much does a commercial fire risk assessment cost in London?
Pricing depends mainly on building size, number of floors, layout complexity and whether communal areas are included. Our fixed pricing options are listed above, and we confirm scope before attendance.
(02) Is a commercial fire risk assessment a legal requirement?
For non-domestic premises, the Responsible Person must carry out and record a fire risk assessment and maintain general fire precautions under the Fire Safety Order.
(03) Who is responsible person — landlord or tenant?
Responsibility usually sits with the duty holder controlling the premises. In some cases, responsibilities are shared (e.g., landlord controls common parts; tenant controls the demised unit). We confirm scope at booking.
(04) How long does a commercial fire risk assessment take?
Time depends on floors, layout and site activity. We confirm expected time during booking to minimise disruption.
(05) What happens if issues are found?
Your report includes a prioritised action plan (what to address urgently vs what can be scheduled), written in plain English.

Keep Assessments Updated

How often should a commercial fire risk assessment be reviewed?

There isn’t one fixed interval that applies to all commercial premises. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and updated when there are material changes, layout changes, refurbishments, change of use, new equipment/ignition sources, staffing/occupancy changes, or after incidents/near misses.

Many businesses choose to review annually as a practical approach, but the correct timing depends on the risk profile and site changes.
