Our professional fire risk assessments are designed to help protect lives, property, and business operations by identifying potential fire hazards and ensuring your premises meet current legal requirements. Whether you manage a single commercial property or multiple sites, W4G Fire & Security provides tailored fire safety assessments based on the specific risks associated with your building.
The responsibility for ensuring an assessment is in place rests with the responsible person. This may be an employer, building owner, landlord, managing agent, or anyone with control over the premises. The requirement applies to individual properties as well as multi-site operations, and professional assessments are particularly important for HMOs, mixed-use buildings, and premises that are open to the public.
At W4G Fire & Security, every assessment follows a comprehensive five-step process. We identify ignition sources and combustible materials, assess who may be at risk – including vulnerable occupants and lone workers – review existing fire safety measures such as alarms, extinguishers, and emergency lighting, record all findings, and produce a clear action plan with prioritised recommendations.
Unlike generic checklist-based assessments, our reports are developed specifically for your premises, giving you practical guidance that supports compliance, improves safety, and helps you demonstrate that appropriate fire risk management measures are in place.

We go beyond tick-box templates. Our assessments are thorough, thoughtful, and tailored to your premises.
There is no fixed legal timeframe, but annual reviews are considered best practice. An immediate review is also required following any significant changes to your building layout, occupancy levels, work activities, or fire safety systems. Following a fire or near-miss incident, your assessment should also be revisited and updated.
The time required depends on the size and complexity of your premises. A straightforward single-floor office may take a couple of hours, while a large multi-floor commercial building or industrial site could take a full day or more. W4G will confirm the expected duration during your free consultation, based on your specific site.
Our experienced assessors deliver more than just paperwork. We provide strategic insights, practical recommendations, and full documentation to meet the highest legal and safety standards, giving you confidence in your compliance.
