Do You Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
You are likely to need a formal fire risk assessment if you:
Employ one or more people
Have paying customers, service users or visitors on site

Control any non-domestic premises in Leicester or Leicestershire
You must also review your fire risk assessment if there are:
Changes to the building layout or use
Changes in occupancy, processes or equipment
A fire, near miss or enforcement visit
If you’re unsure whether your existing fire risk assessment is suitable, sufficient or up to date, we can review it and advise on next steps.

Unredacted certificates evidencing assessor competence will be attached to your Fire Risk Assessment.
FAQs – Fire Risk Assessment Leicester
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
In most cases, you should review your fire risk assessment at least annually or sooner if there is a significant change to the building, occupancy or fire precautions, or after a fire or near miss.
Can I do my own fire risk assessment?
The law allows a competent person to carry out the assessment. However, in many commercial or higher-risk premises, using a qualified independent fire risk assessor in Leicester is the most reliable way to demonstrate competence and compliance.
How long does a fire risk assessment take?
This depends on the size and complexity of the premises. A small office may take a couple of hours on site; larger or multi-building sites will take longer. We’ll confirm the expected duration when we provide your quote.
Will you help me with the actions?
Yes. Your report will include a prioritised action plan, and we can provide ongoing support, training and follow-up visits to help you close out findings and stay compliant.
