Fire Risk Assessments in Kent: Keeping Your Business Safe and Compliant
Running a business in Kent means taking safety seriously, and one of the most important responsibilities you have as an employer or property owner is ensuring your premises are protected from fire. At Kent Electrical and Fire, a Kent County Council-registered contractor and part of Electrofire Group Ltd, our certified fire safety assessors provide thorough and compliant fire risk assessments for businesses across Kent – including Canterbury, Thanet, Maidstone, Medway, and surrounding areas.
What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a detailed inspection of your building to identify potential fire hazards, assess the level of risk, and recommend measures to reduce or eliminate those risks. It’s 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 Matter
Fires can devastate businesses — not only causing damage to property but also putting lives at risk and disrupting operations. A professional 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 Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?
Under UK law, every non-domestic property must have a current fire risk assessment carried out by a ‘Responsible Person’ – this includes employers, landlords, and building managers. Whether you run a small shop in Ramsgate, a school in Canterbury, or an industrial unit in Medway, our team ensures your premises remain safe and compliant.
