FAQs

How often should my business have a fire risk assessment?

Fire risk assessments should be carried out annually or more frequently if there are significant changes to your building or operations. This ensures that any new hazards are identified and that your fire safety measures are up to date.

What fire safety systems should be in place in my business?

The specific systems needed depend on the size, type and use of your premises, but typically include fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, and a clear evacuation plan. A fire safety engineer can assess your site and recommend the appropriate systems to meet your safety requirements.

What happens if my fire alarm system fails a test?

If your fire alarm system fails a test, our engineers will carry out a thorough inspection to identify the issue. We’ll then recommend repairs or replacements to bring your system up to the required safety standards.
