Fire Risk Assessments

As a Council-registered contractor, Surrey Electrical & Fire provides high-quality fire safety services to businesses and public organisations, including accredited fire risk assessments conducted by experienced fire safety professionals.

Expert Guidance, Competitive Pricing, and Legal Compliance

If your building complies with current regulations and is considered low-risk, a fire risk assessment is typically straightforward and cost-effective.

However, depending on the size, occupancy, and specific risks associated with your premises, additional fire safety measures may be required.

Our expert fire safety technicians can assist with:

• Comprehensive and detailed fire risk assessments.
• Clear recommendations to mitigate fire risks.
• Affordable pricing for all services.
• Ensuring full compliance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
• Developing a tailored emergency response plan for your premises.

Your Legal Responsibilities

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the owner, manager, or appointed responsible person for any non-domestic premises must:

• Conduct regular fire risk assessments.
• Implement measures to minimise or remove fire hazards.
• Identify individuals at risk from fire-related dangers.

It is crucial that a certified professional carries out your fire risk assessment to ensure compliance with up-to-date safety regulations. Our qualified technicians will thoroughly inspect all accessible non-domestic areas of your building and provide a comprehensive report detailing any risks and recommended improvements.

Where Should Fire Extinguishers Be Positioned?

As part of an effective fire safety plan, fire extinguishers should be strategically placed in the following locations:

• At designated 'Fire Points' – positioned along escape routes on every floor.
• Within easy reach – near exit doors leading to safety or close to specific fire hazards.
• In clearly visible locations – free from obstructions such as doors or furniture.
• At an appropriate height – extinguishers over 4 kg should be mounted 1 metre from the floor, while lighter units should be placed at 1.5 metres.
