Fire Risk Assessments

At Castle Fire Services Ltd, we provide comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) for businesses and property owners throughout the West Midlands, including Dudley, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, and surrounding areas.
Our qualified assessors help you meet your legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, ensuring your premises remain safe, compliant, and fully protected against the threat of fire.

Why Fire Risk Assessments Are a Legal Requirement

If you own, manage, or operate a non-domestic building, you are legally required to carry out and maintain an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment.
The Responsible Person must identify fire hazards, evaluate risks, and implement adequate safety measures to protect staff, visitors, and residents.

Under the Fire Safety Order (FSO), this applies to:

• Offices, warehouses, factories, and workshops

• Schools, colleges, and universities

• Retail units and hospitality venues

• HMOs, care homes, and healthcare premises

• Multi-occupancy buildings and shared facilities

Failure to complete and maintain a suitable Fire Risk Assessment can result in fines, prosecution, invalidated insurance, or even closure orders from the Fire & Rescue Service.

Our Comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment Process

Our experienced fire safety assessors follow a detailed and structured process in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, PAS 79-2:2020 and BS 9999:2017 (Fire Safety in the Design, Management and Use of Buildings):

1️⃣ Identify Fire Hazards

We examine your premises to locate potential ignition sources, fuel loads, and oxygen supplies — identifying where and how fires could start and spread.

2️⃣ Identify People at Risk

We consider employees, visitors, residents, contractors, and anyone who may be particularly vulnerable, such as people with reduced mobility or sleeping occupants.

3️⃣ Evaluate, Remove, and Reduce Risks

We assess the likelihood and potential impact of fire, identifying improvements to reduce risk — including fire detection, emergency lighting, signage, escape routes, and extinguisher coverage.

4️⃣ Record, Plan, and Train

A full written Fire Risk Assessment report is provided, outlining findings, photographs, and prioritised recommendations.
We can also help create or update your Fire Emergency Plan and provide staff training where required.

5️⃣ Review and Update Regularly

Fire Risk Assessments must be reviewed:

• Annually (best practice)

• Whenever significant changes occur to the building, layout, or occupancy

• Following any fire or near-miss incident

We offer scheduled review services to keep your FRA compliant year after year.

What Your Fire Risk Assessment Includes

Our assessment covers all key elements of fire safety compliance, including:

• Fire alarm systems and maintenance records

• Emergency lighting and signage

• Fire extinguishers and fire-fighting equipment

• Means of escape and evacuation routes

• Fire doors and compartmentation

• Electrical safety and ignition sources

• Storage of combustible materials

• Fire safety management and staff training

• Inspection logs, drills, and documentation

All assessments are completed by competent professionals with up-to-date fire safety training and practical experience across a wide range of premises types.
