The history of the fire risk assessment can be traced to the Regulatory Reform Order of 2005 (also called the Fire Safety order). That piece of legislation was enacted in order to strengthen fire prevention and safety in commercial premises throughout the UK, including apartment blocks, manufacturing facilities, commercial offices and more. The Fire Safety Order states that a “responsible person” must:
The risk assessment should be reviewed on a regular basis (typically at 1-year intervals) with a new assessment being carried out every 5 years. Any time the basic character of the building or office changes (as with a renovation or remodelling) a new fire risk assessment should be conducted.
Many business owners, building managers and landlords do not possess the expertise or time to carry out a fire risk assessment. The ‘responsible person,’ must ensure a fire risk assessment of the premises is carried out and regularly reviewed. The assessment will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe. If your business has 5 or more people, you must keep a written record of your fire risk assessment.
Yes, the law allows a building owner, company owner or manager to employ a third-party assessment service to conduct the fire risk assessment, as long as the individual conducting the assessment has been properly trained. If you enlist the services of a third party such as Cleanair UK the person conducting the fire risk assessment must:
Keep in mind that there is currently no legal requirement to submit the fire risk assessment to the fire services unless they have made a specific request for the building owner or company manager to do so.

Have used Cleanair before to do our kitchen deep clean and were very impressed with their work so asked them to replace our duct for the kitchen extraction. Arrived on time, done the work quickly and efficiently which allowed our kitchen team to carry on with their prep work. I highly recommend them.
A huge thank you to the staff at CleanAir UK who have done the most fantastic job cleaning our kitchen this year. They were prompt, polite, helpful, friendly and amazingly efficient. The kitchen is sparkling and we are thrilled with the results. We will definitely be asking them back next year…
Looking for companies for the cleaning and servicing of my kitchen canopy and ducts I found, via Google, overpriced local traders. I am so glad I looked on the BESA website and came across Clean Air Ltd. The lads you sent round were polite and did a good job. I was so confident in your pricing and work I recommended Clean Air to my church for their kitchen work. God Bless you all.
We got VIP treatment as a local business – all queries were answered professionally and the work itself was fast and clean – no mess left on site. A refreshing attitude! Thanks to the team!
