Sector-Specific Assessments

Fire Risk Assessments for Your Sector

Not a generic template. Each assessment is written for the realities of your premises type — the risks, the regulations and the questions your sector actually asks.

Care Homes

Sleeping-risk premises • CQC-ready • Evacuation strategy reviewed

Care homes are among the highest-risk premises for fire safety. Residents may be unable to evacuate without assistance, and a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment must account for sleeping accommodation, staffing levels at night, and a defensible progressive-horizontal evacuation strategy. HawkSwift's NEBOSH-qualified assessors specialise in care settings and produce reports that stand up to CQC inspection and Fire Authority scrutiny.

Nurseries & Childcare

Ofsted-ready • Young children evacuation • Safeguarding-aware

Nurseries and childcare settings carry a special duty of care: young children cannot evacuate independently and rely entirely on staff during an emergency. A fire risk assessment for a nursery must account for staff-to-child ratios, cots and sleep rooms, and clear, practised evacuation procedures. HawkSwift produces Ofsted-ready reports that demonstrate your setting meets its legal fire-safety obligations.

Hotels & Guest Houses

Sleeping-risk premises • Guest evacuation • Every bedroom checked

Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses accommodate members of the public overnight, many of whom are unfamiliar with the building's layout. This makes clear escape routes, reliable detection, and a robust evacuation plan essential. HawkSwift's assessors examine every bedroom, corridor and escape route to produce a report that protects your guests, your licence and your business.

Restaurants & Cafés

Commercial kitchen risk • Public safety • Same-week visits

Restaurants and cafés combine commercial cooking, high public footfall and often a mix of dining and storage areas — a combination that demands a thorough fire risk assessment. HawkSwift's assessors pay particular attention to your kitchen, extraction, and escape routes so you can trade with confidence and satisfy your Fire Authority and insurer.

HMOs & Landlords

Licence-ready • Communal areas • Tenant safety

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and residential blocks carry specific fire-safety duties for landlords and managing agents. Councils require a fire risk assessment covering communal areas, escape routes, detection and fire doors as a condition of HMO licensing. HawkSwift produces landlord-ready reports that satisfy your local authority and protect your tenants.

Offices & Workplaces

Fast turnaround • Fixed price • Report in 48 hours

Every office and workplace with employees needs a current fire risk assessment. While generally lower-risk than sleeping or public premises, offices still require documented evidence of safe escape routes, working detection, and clear emergency procedures. HawkSwift delivers fast, fixed-price office assessments with a full report within 48 hours.

Retail & Shops

Public safety • Stockroom risk • Fast fixed-price report

Shops and retail units welcome the public daily and often hold significant stock, packaging and display materials that add to the fire load. A fire risk assessment ensures your customers and staff can escape safely and that your premises meet the RRO 2005. HawkSwift delivers fast, fixed-price retail assessments suitable for your Fire Authority and insurer.

Warehouses & Industrial

High fire load • Racking & storage • Process risk reviewed

Warehouses and industrial units present a distinct fire-safety challenge: high storage density, long travel distances to exits, and often machinery, forklifts and flammable materials. A thorough fire risk assessment is essential to protect staff and stock and to satisfy your insurer. HawkSwift's assessors understand industrial environments and produce practical, compliant reports.

Pubs & Bars

Licensed premises • Crowd evacuation • Cellar & kitchen risk

Pubs and bars combine crowds, alcohol, late hours and often live entertainment or commercial kitchens — a demanding fire-safety environment. A robust fire risk assessment is essential for your premises licence and to keep customers and staff safe. HawkSwift's assessors review your bar, cellar, kitchen and escape routes to deliver a compliant, practical report.

Schools & Education

Pupil safety • Large occupancy • Multi-building sites

Schools, colleges and education settings have a duty to protect large numbers of pupils, staff and visitors, often across multiple buildings. A thorough fire risk assessment covers classrooms, halls, science and technology areas, and clear evacuation procedures. HawkSwift produces education-sector reports that satisfy governors, the Fire Authority and your insurers.
