Fire Risk Assessments in Kent: Keeping Your Business Safe and Compliant
Running a business or managing a property in Kent means prioritising safety, and one of your most critical responsibilities is ensuring your premises are fully protected against the risk of fire. At Electrofire Group Ltd, our certified fire safety specialists carry out comprehensive, compliant fire risk assessments for organisations across Kent, including Canterbury, Thanet, Maidstone, Medway, Ashford, and surrounding areas.
What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a structured, professional evaluation of your building to identify fire hazards, assess potential risks, and recommend the measures required to reduce or eliminate them. It is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for all non-domestic premises, including:
- Offices and retail units
- Warehouses and industrial sites
- Schools, hospitals, and care homes
- Rental properties and HMO accommodations
Why Fire Risk Assessments Are Essential
A fire can devastate a business within minutes. Beyond structural damage, the consequences include operational downtime, legal penalties, injuries, and loss of life. A professionally conducted fire risk assessment ensures:
- Legal compliance with UK fire safety regulations
- Early detection of hazards such as faulty wiring, blocked escape routes, or inadequate alarms
- Improved safety for staff and visitors
- Reduced insurance premiums and liability risks
At Kent Electrical and Fire, we don’t just tick boxes — we help you create a practical fire safety strategy tailored to your premises.
Who Must Have a Fire Risk Assessment?
UK law states that every non-domestic property must have a current, up-to-date fire risk assessment. This responsibility falls to the designated “Responsible Person” — typically an employer, landlord, building owner, or property manager.
