Fire risk assessments for every property type.
What is a fire risk assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of your property to identify fire hazards, assess the risk to people, and determine what fire safety measures are needed. It is a legal requirement for most non-domestic premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
For residential landlords, the requirement extends to common areas of HMOs and blocks of flats. A competent, qualified assessor must carry out the assessment — and the responsible person must act on its findings.
At Island Fire Safety Ltd, we carry out assessments that are thorough, clearly written, and genuinely useful — not just a box-ticking exercise.
Residential & HMO
Landlords have a clear legal duty to ensure their properties are fire-safe. We help you meet that duty with confidence.
Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) require a formal fire risk assessment as a condition of licensing. We assess all common areas, escape routes, fire detection systems, and fire-fighting equipment.
For blocks of flats, we assess communal areas including corridors, stairwells, fire doors, plant rooms, and bin stores — producing a report that satisfies your obligations under the Fire Safety Act 2021.
Our reports are written in plain English, clearly prioritise any actions required, and include a recommended review date so you stay on top of your compliance obligations.
Suitable for
- HMOs and licensed properties
- Blocks of flats
- Single lets with communal areas
- Purpose-built student accommodation
- Serviced apartments
Commercial Properties
Every commercial premises has a responsible person with a legal duty to manage fire safety. We make that straightforward.
Offices, retail units, warehouses, restaurants, and mixed-use buildings all fall under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We assess your premises against the full requirements of the Order, identifying hazards and recommending proportionate controls.
We work around your business hours wherever possible to minimise disruption, and our reports are structured to be immediately useful to facilities managers, health and safety leads, and building owners alike.
We can also assist with fire safety management plans, emergency evacuation procedures, and staff fire safety awareness — helping you build a complete picture of your fire safety arrangements.
Suitable for
- Offices and business parks
- Retail and hospitality premises
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Mixed-use and multi-tenanted buildings
- Hotels and guest accommodation
Public Sector & Care
Properties where vulnerable people live or are cared for demand the highest standard of fire safety assessment. We bring the expertise and sensitivity these settings require.
Care homes, residential care facilities, and supported living schemes are subject to enhanced fire safety requirements. We understand the specific challenges of these environments — including sleeping risk, mobility limitations, and the need for personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPs).
For schools and educational settings, we assess all areas of the building including classrooms, corridors, plant rooms, and external structures, producing a report that satisfies Ofsted and local authority requirements.
We work closely with facilities managers, compliance teams, and local authority contacts to ensure our assessments integrate smoothly with your existing safety management systems.
Suitable for
- Care homes and residential care
- Supported living and sheltered housing
- Schools and colleges
- Community centres and places of worship
- Local authority and public buildings
