What is Fire Risk Assessment Services?
Fire safety is an important thing to think about. Fire risk assessments are done by a fire safety assessor who will come into your home, discuss with you where the risks in your house are and how they can be fixed, and then compile this information into their report. The fire assessor will look into your fire exit signage, Fire Alarm system, Fire Doors, and Fire extinguishers to make sure your property doesn’t have any risks of fire.
Fire risk assessments are necessary for your residential or commercial properties if any of the following applies to you
You have a Home for Multiple Occupants (HMO) with 3 or more people, and there is no fire alarm system.

Current UK Legislation
Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, a Fire Risk Assessment is compulsory for any business. It will be mandatory for all businesses to have Fire Risk Assessments in place. Under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, Fire Authorities were also given powers to serve an Improvement Notice or Prohibition Notice on a premise which contravenes the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

How often must they be done?
Under law there is no specific time period for the time duration of Fire Risk Assessment in London. However, it is a requirement to undertake one as soon as possible after the change of occupancy occurs in any business premises.
The Fire Safety Risk Assessor must assess:
The use and storage of combustible materials on the premises;
The presence or foreseeable potential for any fire;
The means of escape in the event of a fire;
The presence or likely occurrence of other risks to health and safety including flooding or structural inadequacies; and the measures are taken to eliminate those risks.
The importance of Fire Risk Assessments Services
Fire Risk Assessments in London are necessary for buildings that are over three stories high. FRA ensures compliance with the Fire and Fire Safety Order, 2005 which governs the design, maintenance, and use of premises. Fire risk assessments also help to provide a means to reduce fire risks on-premises, while complying with legal requirements. It also helps to improve fire safety knowledge and understanding of people who live or work in the building where it is conducted. FRA can be completed by an individual or a professional team. It requires adequate expertise and knowledge of all aspects relating to fire safety for the premises concerned: whether it is historic or contemporary, commercial or residential, built from stone or steel, etc., as well as knowledge of the Fire and Fire Safety Order 2005. Fire Risk Assessments are not always required as they depend on the type of premises in question.
