Don’t think ‘everything will be ok – it was last year’ things can change and the unexpected can really happen!

All commercial premises must have a Fire Safety Risk Assessment for their Building – it’s the law! Even Airbnb Hosts who have paying guests must have one and if you look closely at your building insurance you will see it’s a requirement.

But where do you find a Fire Safety Risk Assessor in London – if you carry out a general internet search so many Fire Protection Safety Services offering all kinds of tempting deals come up BUT are they qualified to do the job!

One of the safest places to find a ‘qualified’ Fire Risk Assessor is the Institution of Fire Engineers, on their home page they have a Register of ‘Approved’ Assessors. Everyone on the Register has proved competency in Fire Safety and are fully accredited and insured.

  • Fire Safety Inspection/Audit
  • Fire Safety Risk Assessment report
  • Fire Safety Management Plan – Significant Findings
  • Fire Safety Policy 
  • Fire Safety Emergency Plan

All the ‘parts’ required by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
