Fire Risk Assessment Services in London

Fire safety in London presents challenges that simply don’t exist elsewhere. Higher occupancy levels, mixed residential and commercial use, older and converted buildings, and regular regulatory attention mean that a Fire Risk Assessment must be specific to the building — not based on generic assumptions.
Our Fire Risk Assessment services in London are carried out with these realities in mind. We provide clear, inspection-ready assessments that help landlords, managing agents, and businesses understand their responsibilities and take practical steps to reduce fire risk.All assessments are completed in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with reporting informed by recognised guidance such as PAS 79 and relevant British Standards.

  • Purpose-built and converted blocks of flats
  • HMOs and shared accommodation
  • Mixed-use premises with commercial units below residential space
  • Offices, retail units, restaurants, and hospitality venues
  • Older and heritage properties
