Fire Risk Assessments and reliable Fire Safety Solutions for businesses across Epsom

FAQ’s – Fire Protection in Epsom

• Do I need a fire risk assessment?

  If you own, manage or operate a building or business, you will need to comply with fire safety law. The main law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, more commonly known as the RRO.

  The RRO applies to virtually all non-domestic buildings and it is your responsibility to make sure the workplace meets the required standards. Article 9 of the Order states that suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments must be carried out by a competent person.

• Are Pyro Fire Services competent?

• What types of buildings require fire risk assessments in Epsom?

  Most non-domestic premises and the communal areas of residential buildings in Epsom legally require a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This applies to offices, apartment blocks, HMOs, schools, healthcare facilities, care homes, retail premises, warehouses, industrial units, hospitality venues, leisure facilities and mixed-use commercial properties throughout Epsom and the wider Surrey area.

  Pyro Fire Services carries out fire risk assessments for landlords, managing agents, facilities managers, business owners and responsible persons who need to identify fire hazards, protect occupants and maintain compliance with UK fire safety legislation.

  A professional fire risk assessment considers multiple factors within the building, including means of escape, travel distances, emergency lighting, fire alarm systems, fire doors, fire compartmentation, passive fire protection, evacuation procedures, occupancy levels and overall fire safety management arrangements.

  Different property types create different fire risks. Older converted buildings in Epsom may require closer attention to escape routes and compartmentation, while larger commercial premises, warehouses and multi-occupancy buildings often require more detailed fire safety strategies, evacuation planning and ongoing compliance reviews.

  Pyro Fire Services provides fire risk assessments across Epsom and surrounding Surrey areas, helping organisations improve fire safety standards, reduce risk to life and support compliance with current fire regulations.
