Our residential Fire Risk Assessments strictly adhere to the BS 9792:2025 Standard, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for systematically evaluating safety measures in HMOs and residential buildings. This rigorous approach effectively safeguards both residents and property owners via thorough risk analysis.
The Importance of Professional Fire Risk Assessments
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire Safety Act 2021, Fire Risk Assessments are mandatory for all non-domestic premises and multi-occupied buildings in Hertfordshire. As the responsible person, you have a legal duty to ensure that a competent individual conducts a thorough Fire Risk Assessment to identify fire hazards and implement appropriate control measures.
Fire incidents can devastate businesses, with many never fully recovering from the damage. Proactive fire safety management begins with comprehensive risk identification and mitigation. Our expert assessments help you achieve regulatory compliance while safeguarding people and assets.

FAQs
If you’re responsible for a commercial premises, you require a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). Likewise, residential property landlords also require Fire Risk Assessments (unless the property is classified as a “single private dwelling”).
While annual checks are the industry standard for FRA frequency, this is not a legal mandate. Legislation requires “regular checks,” but you may not need an annual FRA if there are no changes to your building or its fire safety components. On the other hand, if you make changes to your building, such as an extension, you will require an immediate Fire Risk Assessment to examine fire safety components, even if it’s been less than a year since your previous check.
Yes, you can conduct your own Fire Risk Assessment (especially if it’s a small premises). However, it must be carried out by a competent person, meaning someone with an understanding of fire safety risks and FRA requirements. Contact Florian Fire Safety to determine if you require a professional fire risk assessor to inspect your building.
