The Law Is Clear - You Need a Fire Risk Assessment

Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement for every non-domestic property in Northern Ireland.

If you’re responsible for a building where people work, visit, sleep, or receive care, you almost certainly need a fire risk assessment. It’s not optional — it’s the law. The Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) require the “responsible person” to carry out and regularly review a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.

This applies to you if you manage or own:

Landlords &
HMO Owners
Offices &
Commercial Premises
Retail &
Shopping Centres
Hotels, Restaurants
& Hospitality
Care Homes
& Healthcare
Schools
& Education
Factories,
Warehouses & Industrial
Construction
Sites
Charities
& Public Sector

Protecting your people, your property, your compliance.

Clear process. Detailed report. Prioritised action plan.

What's Included in Our Fire Risk Assessments

Every fire risk assessment we carry out follows a structured, regulation-compliant process. Here’s exactly what you get:
Full Premises Inspection

We visit your property and carry out a thorough, room-by-room inspection — looking at fire hazards, ignition sources, structural risks, escape routes, signage, and existing fire safety measures.

Hazard Identification

We identify anything that could start a fire, contribute to its spread, or prevent people from escaping safely. This includes electrical risks, storage issues, blocked exits, and inadequate compartmentation.

Review of Existing Precautions

We assess what you already have in place — fire alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting, signage, staff training, and evacuation procedures — and check whether it's adequate, maintained, and up to date.

Risk Evaluation

We evaluate who is at risk in your premises such as employees, tenants, visitors, vulnerable people and assess the likelihood and potential impact of a fire based on what we've found.

Detailed Written Report

You receive a comprehensive written report covering all findings, with photographs where relevant. Everything is written in plain language so you can understand it without a fire safety background.

Prioritised Action Plan

Your report includes a clear action plan, ranked by urgency — what needs fixing immediately, what needs attention soon, and what can be scheduled over time. No guesswork, no ambiguity

Follow-Up Support

We don't just hand you a report and disappear. If you have questions, need help implementing recommendations, or want us to arrange training or equipment, we're here to help.

Commonly asked Questions

Fire Risk Assessment FAQs

Yes. Under the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland), the "responsible person" for any non-domestic premises must carry out a fire risk assessment and keep it under regular review. This applies to workplaces, rental properties, HMOs, commercial buildings, and public-access premises.

In most cases, it's the employer, building owner, landlord, or whoever has control of the premises. If you're not sure whether that's you, get in touch and we'll help you work it out.

There's no fixed legal interval, but the assessment must be kept "under review" and updated whenever there are significant changes to the premises, its use, or the people in it. As a general rule, we recommend a full review at least every 12 months — more frequently for higher-risk premises like HMOs, care homes, and hospitality venues.

It depends on the size and complexity of the property. A small office or single rental property typically takes around 1–2 hours. Larger or more complex premises — care homes, warehouses, multi-storey buildings — may take 2–4 hours.

You're breaking the law. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) can issue enforcement notices, prohibition notices (which can shut your premises immediately), or prosecute. Fines can be substantial, and in the most serious cases, imprisonment is possible. Beyond the legal consequences, you're also putting people's lives at risk and may invalidate your insurance.

The deposit secures your assessment date. It's fully deducted from your final invoice — so it's not an extra cost, just a commitment that confirms your booking.
Yes. We can arrange fire safety training, supply and service fire extinguishers, install signage and emergency lighting, and provide ongoing consultancy. You don't need to go to multiple providers.

Absolutely. We regularly work with landlords and businesses managing portfolios of properties. We'll work through your full portfolio and provide individual reports for each premises, with a prioritised plan across the lot.
Very little. Just make sure we can access all areas of the property and have any existing fire safety documentation to hand if you have it — previous assessments, maintenance records, training certificates. If you don't have any of that, don't worry — we'll work with what's there.
