Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Do I legally need a fire risk assessment?

Almost certainly yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, any business premises or shared/rented housing must have a current fire risk assessment, and where five or more people are employed it must be recorded in writing. If you run a business, let an HMO, or are responsible for communal areas, the duty applies to you.

How much does a fire risk assessment cost?

Your exact fixed price shows in the calculator — business premises from £199, HMOs from £199. The price you see is the price you pay: no manual review, no VAT surprises, and no mileage charges within Hampshire and Dorset.

Do I have to pay upfront?

No. There's no payment to book. I carry out the visit, send you a draft report, and only release the signed, finalised report once you're happy and the invoice is settled.

What standards do you assess to?

Business premises and holiday lets are assessed using the PAS 79-1:2020 methodology; HMOs and shared housing to BS 9792:2025 with reference to the LACORS guidance, as appropriate to your building. Reports include findings, risk ratings and a prioritised action plan that stand up to insurers and enforcing authorities.

Do you assess HMOs and shared houses?

Yes. HMO and landlord fire risk assessments are a core part of what I do, priced by the number of rented rooms. The report is written to the standard your local authority and licensing scheme expect.

How quickly can you visit and turn the report around?

I cover Hampshire and Dorset and aim to visit promptly, with your draft report shortly after the visit. Get in touch for current availability.

Are you properly qualified and insured?

Yes. I am Matt McAllen, a member of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (AIFSM) and a Chartered member of IOSH (CMIOSH), and I carry professional indemnity insurance. Every assessment is carried out and written by me personally — no subcontractors, no call centres.

Approval Guarantee

Written to the standard insurers and enforcing authorities expect. If a competent authority won't accept it, I'll put it right.

12 months' support included

Questions after the visit, or a follow-up from your insurer or the fire service? I'm on the phone for a full year, no extra cost.
