What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a structured review of your premises to identify potential fire hazards, evaluate risk to people and property, and determine the measures needed to keep everyone safe. It is a legal requirement for virtually all non-domestic premises in England and Wales.
Sussex's blend of coastal hospitality businesses, rural properties, heritage buildings, and growing residential areas demands flexible, expert fire and electrical safety solutions. Our certified assessors have the local knowledge and technical expertise to carry out assessments that genuinely protect your people — not just tick a compliance box.
- Identify ignition sources and fire hazards
- Evaluate risk to all persons on site
- Assess fire extinguisher type and positioning
- Recommend measures to reduce or eliminate risk
- Produce a full written report and action plan
Your Legal Obligations in Sussex
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every non-domestic premises must appoint a Responsible Person to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment. In Sussex, East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service oversees enforcement and has the power to issue improvement notices, prohibition orders, and prosecutions.
Premises required to have a current fire risk assessment include:
- Offices, shops and retail premises
- Warehouses and industrial units
- HMOs and houses in multiple occupation
- Holiday lets and short-term rentals
- Schools, care homes and public buildings
- Communal areas in blocks of flats
What Happens if You Don't Have One?
Failure to maintain a current, compliant fire risk assessment can result in substantial fines, invalidated insurance, and — in the event of an incident — personal liability. Most importantly, it puts lives at unnecessary risk.
Our team will carry out your assessment quickly and efficiently, providing a clear, actionable report and the confidence that your premises are fully compliant with Sussex fire safety requirements.
Book an AssessmentFrequently Asked Questions
How often should it be reviewed?
At least annually, or sooner if there are significant changes to the building, occupancy, or layout — or following any fire-related incident.
How long does an assessment take?
Small offices typically take a couple of hours. Larger premises may require a full day. We always aim to minimise disruption to your operations in Sussex.
Can I do my own fire risk assessment?
For very small, low-risk premises you can complete one yourself. However, most Sussex businesses choose a certified assessor like Electrofire Group to ensure full legal compliance.
