Preston fire risk assessment FAQs
Do you cover Preston and Lancashire?
Yes. As a North West consultancy we provide fire risk assessments across Preston and the wider Lancashire area, with fast mobilisation and no distant-firm travel premiums.
What premises in Preston do you assess?
We assess offices, retail units, industrial and warehouse premises, care homes, schools, residential blocks, HMOs, hospitality venues and multi-site portfolios across Preston and Lancashire. The scope is agreed according to the premises, occupancy and relevant fire safety legislation.
Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement for my Preston premises?
In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person to ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out for premises within scope. The Responsible Person is determined by control and legal responsibility for the premises — not always the business owner.
Do fire risk assessments expire annually?
Not automatically. A fire risk assessment must be reviewed regularly and whenever change triggers apply. We record the actual review recommendation, not a blanket annual expiry.
Can you combine a fire risk assessment with a health and safety audit?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit to your Preston premises — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact for both fire and H&S.
