Do warehouses and industrial units need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Any workplace, including warehouses, factories and industrial units, must have a current fire risk assessment under the RRO 2005. The higher fire load and longer escape distances make a thorough assessment especially important.

Do you assess storage of flammable or hazardous materials?

Yes. Our assessors review the storage, handling and separation of flammable and dangerous substances, along with racking layout, travel distances and detection, giving you a clear plan to control the risk.

How much does a warehouse fire risk assessment cost?

Most warehouses and industrial units fall into the Standard tier at £549. Smaller units may qualify for Fast Track (£349); very large or high-hazard sites may need Enhanced. The quote form gives your exact price.
