Planning for prevention.

In accordance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement for commercial properties and residential buildings with more than one residence to conduct a fire risk assessment.

The evaluation is a methodical examination of your property, the activities that take place there, and the possibility that a fire could start and endanger persons who are inside or close by. Its objectives are straightforward:

Identify fire hazards.
Reduce the risks of those hazards causing harm to as low as reasonably practical.
Determine the physical precautions and management arrangements that are necessary to ensure the safety of people if a fire were to break out.

Keep Your Premises Fire Safe in Cirencester

Known as the Capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester is packed with historic buildings made of Cotswold stone. Each of these old buildings will have their own set of fire safety issues, and the old properties around the Market Place, Dyer Street and Castle Street (that are used as shops, cafés and pubs on the ground floor with flats above) will require effective fire separation and adequate protected escape routes. The older and listed buildings often have timber floors, narrow staircases and hidden voids, so the fire safety assessment has to take account of the special features of the old building to find ways to improve the fire safety, without damaging the special character of the old building. Holiday lets and self-catering cottages in villages such as South Cerney, Siddington and the Cotswold Water Park also require a fire risk assessment. Businesses on Love Lane Industrial Estate with large quantities of stock and materials will also require special attention to storage, means of escape and fire detection. At APM Fire and Security we provide expert fire risk assessment in Cirencester, as well as covering Tetbury and Fairford. We will explain our findings to you in simple terms and then go on to advise on any remedial work that may be required to ensure that your premises are safe and compliant.

Fire Risk Assessment in Cirencester: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a fire risk assessment for my Cirencester premises?

If you run a business, manage a building or let a property with shared areas, almost certainly yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to have a suitable fire risk assessment in place, and to record it in writing if five or more people are employed.

What types of property do you assess?

We carry out fire risk assessments in Cirencester for shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, pubs and restaurants. We also assess flats above shops, HMOs and the communal areas of residential blocks. Each assessment is tailored to how the building is used and who is in it.

How often should my fire risk assessment be reviewed?

It’s also a good idea to review your fire risk assessment regularly and whenever something significant changes, such as building work, a change of use or new occupants. There’s no fixed legal time frame for this but many businesses and landlords in Cirencester choose to carry out a review on an annual basis in order to ensure that the assessment is still accurate.

What does a fire risk assessment in Cirencester include?

Our qualified assessors check the emergency routes and exits from the premises, the fire detection and alarm systems, the firefighting equipment, the storage of dangerous substances, the plans for evacuation of the premises and for the protection of vulnerable people, the information given to staff, and fire safety training.

Can you carry out the work the assessment recommends?

We are happy to carry out the assessment for you. Our fire risk assessment service is independent of our installation and maintenance work, so the findings are impartial. We will highlight any works required such as upgrades of the fire alarm or fire doors, which APM Fire and Security can then quote for.
