Fire Risk Assessment Companies | Find Fire Door Inspector

A fire risk assessment (FRA) is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for all non-domestic premises and the common areas of residential buildings. The assessment evaluates fire hazards, identifies people at risk, and recommends measures to reduce the risk of fire and ensure safe evacuation. Fire doors are a critical element assessed during an FRA — their condition, compliance, and maintenance programme directly affects the building's overall fire risk rating. Many companies that offer fire risk assessments also provide specialist fire door inspection and remediation services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement?

Yes. Under the FSO 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises or common areas of residential buildings must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and keep it under regular review. Failure to do so can result in enforcement notices and prosecution.

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

There is no fixed legal frequency, but the assessment must be kept 'under review'. Good practice is to review annually, or sooner after any significant changes to the building, its use, or its occupants. The FSER 2022 requires annual reviews for higher-risk residential buildings.

Can the same assessor inspect fire doors?

Yes, many fire risk assessors also hold fire door inspection qualifications (FDIS, BM TRADA). This can be efficient as they assess fire doors in the context of the broader fire safety strategy. However, for detailed door-by-door assessments, a specialist fire door inspector may provide more thorough reporting.
