Fire risk assessment
Fire Risk Assessment for Offices
Office fire risk assessments help employers, landlords and managing agents identify fire hazards, review escape routes, check fire precautions and record actions for the responsible person.
Typical office pricing
| Office type | Guide range |
|---|---|
| Small office, simple layout | GBP 250.00 to GBP 450.00 |
| Managed office across multiple floors | GBP 450.00 to GBP 800.00 |
| Large or complex office building | Quoted after scope review |
What the assessor checks
- Escape routes, stair cores, final exits and fire door condition.
- Fire alarm coverage, emergency lighting, extinguishers and signage.
- Electrical rooms, server rooms, kitchens, storage areas and contractor spaces.
- Records for drills, alarm tests, maintenance visits and staff training.
Legal duties
In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places duties on the responsible person. This can include the employer, landlord, managing agent or another person with control of the office.
Common office mistakes
Common issues include blocked escape routes, wedge-open fire doors, poor records for shared areas, untested emergency lighting and unclear responsibility between tenant and landlord.
