🚪 You’re Not Alone If You’re Wondering…
“I’ve never had one done before – do I even need it?”
“It’s probably going to be expensive and over the top.”
“My property seems safe… is this just a tick-box exercise?”
These are the kinds of thoughts we hear all the time. And we get it. Whether you are a landlord, managing a small block of flats, or responsible for a community space, fire safety can feel like a grey area, until something happens. The truth is, a fire risk assessment is not about red tape. It is about preparation, peace of mind, and doing what is right before it becomes urgent.
🔍 Let’s Break It Down
1. “My Property Is Pretty Safe – Why Would I Need One?”
That is a fair question. But under UK law, many types of premises require a fire risk assessment by default, including:
Communal areas in blocks of flats
HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation)
Churches, shops, small offices, and even some home-based businesses
It is not about assuming the worst. It is about taking the right steps to protect people and stay compliant.
2. “What If It Uncovers Big Problems?”
That is the point. A proper fire risk assessment should help you identify issues before they become risks:
Is your main entrance door fire-rated?
Are the alarms in communal areas working?
Is the escape route actually accessible and practical?
This is not about scare tactics. It is about clear, reasonable steps that help you get things sorted without stress or unnecessary cost.
3. “Is This Going to Cost Me a Fortune?”
It really should not. Most people are surprised at how affordable a fire risk assessment is, especially compared to:
The cost of a fine for non-compliance
The cost of fixing major issues after an incident
The emotional and reputational damage from a preventable event
✅ Why People Eventually Request One

It is a legal requirement for many properties
It is a practical step that shows you take safety seriously
It adds value to your property and helps protect your tenants or visitors
