Does my shop need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Any retail premises with staff or members of the public must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under the RRO 2005. This applies to independent shops, salons and units in shopping centres alike.

What are the most common issues you find in shops?

Common findings include obstructed or locked fire exits during trading hours, excess stock blocking escape routes, and missing or expired emergency lighting. We identify these and give you a clear, prioritised action plan.

How much does a retail fire risk assessment cost?

Most small shops fall into Fast Track at £349. Larger stores up to 50 staff are Standard (£549); department stores or multi-floor units may be Enhanced. The quote form confirms your exact price.
