Fire Risk Assessment Newcastle

Fire safety experts protecting North East businesses for over 30 years

Legal Requirements and Compliance

Every non-domestic building in Newcastle requires a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Recent updates through the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act 2022 have expanded these requirements significantly.

Who Needs Assessment?

If you're responsible for any building where people work, visit, or reside (excluding private homes), you need a professional assessment. This includes:

Commercial premises: Offices, shops, restaurants, and retail spaces

Industrial facilities: Factories, warehouses, and manufacturing sites

Care facilities: Nursing homes, hospitals, and assisted living

Educational buildings: Schools, colleges, and training centres

Entertainment venues: Pubs, clubs, cinemas, and event spaces

Residential properties: HMOs, apartment blocks, and student accommodation

Annual reviews are the legal minimum, but assessments must be updated whenever you make significant changes to premises, occupancy, or operations. High-risk venues may require more frequent evaluation.

Why Choose Professional Fire Risk Assessment?

Only 52% of DIY fire assessments meet legal standards, while professional assessments have a 94% success rate. Getting it wrong isn't just about paperwork. You could face unlimited fines, prosecution, business closure, or personal liability if someone gets hurt.

Our certified assessors understand the regulations and spot risks you might miss. We also provide professional insurance and legal protection.
