Independent Fire Risk Assessments in Sussex

Curtis & More provides independent fire risk assessments for residential and commercial properties across Sussex and surrounding areas.

Based in Worthing, we work with landlords, HMO owners, property managers, freeholders and businesses.

What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment examines the fire hazards within a property, who may be at risk and the precautions and procedures needed to reduce those risks.

For premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has duties relating to fire safety and fire risk assessment.

  • HMOs
  • Residential blocks

  • Purpose-built blocks
  • Airbnb and guest accommodation
  • Commercial premises
  • Shared communal areas

What Does a Fire Risk Assessment Look At?

Depending on the property, an assessment may consider areas such as:

  • Sources of ignition
  • Sources of fuel
  • Means of escape
  • Fire doors
  • Fire detection and warning systems
  • Emergency procedures
  • Fire-fighting equipment
  • Electrical and other potential fire hazards
  • People who may be particularly at risk
  • Management and maintenance arrangements

The assessment and report will depend on the individual property and its use.

Fire Risk Assessments for Landlords and HMOs

Landlords and HMO owners have specific fire safety responsibilities.

If you manage or own a property and are unsure whether you require a fire risk assessment, contact Curtis & More to discuss your circumstances.

Clear Reports and Practical Recommendations

Following an assessment, we provide a written report setting out the findings and any recommended actions.

Our aim is to provide information in a clear and practical format so that property owners and responsible persons can understand the issues identified.
