Do pubs and bars legally need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Licensed premises with staff and members of the public must have a current fire risk assessment under the RRO 2005, and it is closely tied to your premises licence conditions. Crowds and alcohol make safe, unobstructed escape especially important.

Do you assess the cellar and gas systems?

Yes. Our assessors review cellar cooling, CO2 and gas systems, kitchen equipment and the main trading areas, identifying ignition sources and escape issues with a clear action plan.

How much does a pub fire risk assessment cost?

Most pubs and bars fall into the Standard tier at £549. Small venues may qualify for Fast Track (£349); large multi-floor venues or those with letting rooms may need Enhanced. The quote form confirms your price.
