for Business
& Landlords
We help landlords and businesses across Surrey meet their legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 — with professional fire risk assessments that are thorough, actionable, and built to stand up to scrutiny.
Fire Risk Assessments
Is Your Property Legally Compliant?
If You’re Not Sure, You’re Already at Risk.
A fire risk assessment isn’t a formality. It’s a legal requirement — and if yours is out of date, incomplete, or has never been done at all, you could be liable for prosecution, fines, and in the worst case, the consequences of a fire that could have been prevented.
At ESI: Fire Safety, we carry out detailed, professional fire risk assessments for landlords, property managers, and business owners across Surrey and the surrounding areas. We’ll tell you exactly where your risks are, what needs to be done, and how to stay on the right side of the law.
You Have a Legal Duty. We Make It Simple.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, any person responsible for a non-domestic premises – including HMOs, blocks of flats, commercial properties, and workplaces – must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept up to date.
That includes you if you are a:
- Private landlord with an HMO or block of flats
- Managing agent overseeing residential or commercial property
- Business owner or facilities manager responsible for a workplace
- Housing association or property management company
Failing to comply isn’t just a paperwork issue.
It can result in Improvement Notices, unlimited fines, and in serious cases, criminal prosecution.
The cases making headlines across the UK right now are proof of that.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fire risk assessments and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, answered plainly.
Who is legally required to have a fire risk assessment?
This includes landlords with HMOs or blocks of flats, business owners, facilities managers, managing agents, and housing associations.
If you are the responsible person for a building — even partially — the legal duty applies to you.
How often does a fire risk assessment need to be reviewed?
As a general rule, most premises should have their assessment reviewed at least every twelve months.
Following a fire, a near miss, or after any structural alterations, an immediate review is strongly recommended.
What happens if I don't have a fire risk assessment?
Local fire and rescue services have the power to inspect premises, issue Improvement or Prohibition Notices, and pursue prosecution.
Fines are unlimited, and in cases where negligence has contributed to injury or death, responsible persons can face custodial sentences.
The financial and reputational consequences of non-compliance far outweigh the cost of getting it right.
Can I carry out my own fire risk assessment?
For most commercial premises, HMOs, and multi-occupancy buildings, the complexity of the assessment means that using a qualified, experienced professional is strongly advisable.
An inadequate self-assessment offers little legal protection and may give a false sense of security.
What happens after the assessment is completed?
It is then your responsibility as the responsible person to act on the recommendations within the timeframes specified.
ESI: Fire Safety can support you with any remedial works required, including fire door surveys, fire stopping, compartmentation surveys, fire alarm maintenance, and fire extinguisher servicing — so you have a single point of contact from assessment through to full compliance.
