Fire safety shaped around your premises.

Low to moderate fire-risk premises

Small, straightforward premises. An individual assessment.

Our low-risk enquiry guide describes a small, simple building with conventional construction, straightforward escape routes and no unusual hazards.

People and occupancy

Typically, there are low numbers of occupants—around 60 or fewer—mostly familiar with the layout, with only occasional visitors. This is an initial guide, not a legal occupancy limit or an automatic risk rating.

Everyday premises

Examples include small offices, shops, village halls, shared areas of small blocks of flats, and small warehouses or workshops, depending on their use and hazards.

Confirming suitability

Low to moderate risk is our service scope, not a promise about the assessment outcome. Moderate-risk enquiries are considered individually. We review construction, escape routes, activities, occupancy and any need for specialist input before accepting an appointment. Shared areas of flats are considered in the context of the whole building and its sleeping occupants.
