Does a one-chair hairdresser legally need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to every non-domestic premises, regardless of size. A one-chair salon still uses heated electrical appliances (straighteners, tongs, dryers), chemicals and has members of the public on the premises — so a suitable and sufficient assessment is a legal requirement, not optional.

What should a salon fire risk assessment cover?

It must cover your heated appliances and how they are switched off and stored, socket loading (salons routinely run many high-wattage devices on shared circuits), chemical and aerosol storage, the single escape route through a compact floorplate, and housekeeping around styling chairs and trolleys. We give you a written action plan tied to the RRO 2005.

How quickly can a hairdresser get the assessment done?

Most salons use our Fast Track tier (£199) with same-week appointments and the report delivered within 48 hours. You can book online in minutes and the assessor confirms a time that suits your salon's quiet period.

Restaurants and cafés combine commercial cooking, high public footfall and often a mix of dining and storage areas — a combination that demands a thorough fire risk assessment. HawkSwift's assessors pay particular attention to your kitchen, extraction, and escape routes so you can trade with confidence and satisfy your Fire Authority and insurer. This page is tailored specifically to turkish & middle eastern restaurants premises.

Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants present distinct fire hazards, primarily due to the use of charcoal-fired ocakbasi grills, clay tandoor ovens, and extensive open-flame cooking. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must ensure these high-heat systems are adequately ventilated and separated from dining areas to prevent grease accumulation and flash fires. A competent assessor will specifically inspect the integrity of extraction ductwork and verify that fire-resistant dampers are correctly installed to stop flame spread through the ceiling voids.
