Fire Risk Assessments in London: Protecting Your Business and Ensuring Compliance

Running a business in London means prioritising safety and compliance. One of the most critical responsibilities for any employer or property owner is making sure your building is protected against the threat of fire. At London Electrical and Fire, part of Electrofire Group Ltd, our qualified fire safety assessors deliver detailed and fully compliant fire risk assessments for businesses and organisations throughout Greater London — including the City, Croydon, Bromley, Enfield, and surrounding areas.
What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a structured review of your premises to identify fire hazards, assess the potential risks, and provide practical recommendations to minimise those dangers. It’s a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for all non-domestic properties, such as:
- Offices and retail premises
- Factories and industrial buildings
- Educational and healthcare facilities
- Rental properties, blocks of flats, and HMOs
Why Fire Risk Assessments Are Essential
Fires can cause devastating damage — endangering lives, destroying property, and interrupting business operations. A professional fire risk assessment helps you:
- Stay legally compliant with UK fire safety legislation
- Identify and remove hazards early, such as electrical faults or blocked fire exits
- Protect employees, visitors, and residents from unnecessary risk
- Reduce insurance costs and strengthen your overall safety management
At London Electrical and Fire, our aim is not just compliance — we help you develop a tailored fire safety strategy that works for your specific environment.
Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?
All commercial and non-domestic properties are legally required to have a current fire risk assessment conducted by a ‘Responsible Person’ — typically the employer, building owner, or facilities manager. Whether you manage a retail space in central London, a warehouse in Barking, or an office in Croydon, our team ensures your building remains fully compliant and properly safeguarded.
