Independent fire risk assessments for commercial premises, managed residential buildings and landlords across Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Clear findings, defined actions and evidence ready when insurers, auditors, managing agents or enforcement authorities ask questions.
Most buildings already have a fire risk assessment. The real test comes later, when an insurer asks for evidence, a managing agent needs answers or a responsible person is expected to demonstrate what has been done and why.
That is where the quality of the assessment matters. Generic templates and poorly evidenced reports create uncertainty at the exact moment clarity is needed most.
ClearFire carries out fire risk assessments built to support decisions. Findings are supported by photographic evidence, actions are prioritised by risk and recommendations are written to help responsible persons, insurers and property stakeholders move forward with confidence.
The risks inside an office differ from those in a warehouse, HMO or managed residential building. Every assessment reflects the realities of the property, not the template used before it.

Yes. Article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal duty on the responsible person for almost all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, and for the common parts of buildings with two or more dwellings, to make a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. Where five or more people are employed, or the premises is licensed, it must be recorded in writing.
The employer, the occupier, or whoever has control of the premises in connection with a business. In a multi-let building the landlord or managing agent is responsible for the common parts and each tenant for their own demised space. The duty sits with whoever controls the premises, it does not transfer with the lease.
The Type describes scope and intrusiveness. Type 1 is the common baseline, a non-destructive inspection of common parts and accessible areas. Type 2 adds destructive inspection to check compartmentation. Types 3 and 4 extend into individual dwellings, with Type 4 adding destructive sampling. We recommend the right type for your building rather than over-specifying.
The Order requires review “regularly” and immediately whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid — in practice at least every twelve months for most premises, more often for sleeping-risk buildings, and after any refit, change of use or material change in occupancy.
