A fire risk assessment is a fundamental part of effective fire safety management in most non-domestic premises. It considers potential sources of fire, the people who could be affected and the measures in place to prevent incidents and protect occupants if a fire occurs. Regularly reviewing the assessment is also important when there are changes to the building, its use, occupancy or fire safety arrangements.

Tilbury has a strong commercial and industrial identity shaped by its position on the River Thames and the Port of Tilbury. The port includes extensive warehousing, distribution and cargo-handling operations, while areas around Dock Road and the town centre provide a mixture of commercial premises, shops, services and community facilities. For businesses operating in these environments, fire risk assessments need to take account of the particular activities, storage arrangements, occupancy and building layouts involved.
The town also has an important heritage and riverside setting, with Tilbury Fort overlooking the Thames and the wider area continuing to develop through residential, commercial and port-related investment. Tilbury Town railway station provides a further connection for local residents and workers, while the surrounding communities add schools, housing and other occupied premises to the local property mix. These varied environments can present very different fire safety considerations, making a property-specific assessment particularly important.

Whether you're responsible for a warehouse, shop, office, community facility or another non-domestic property, understanding your fire safety obligations is important. Here are answers to some common questions about fire risk assessments in Tilbury.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement in Tilbury?
For most non-domestic premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a fire risk assessment is required. It should identify fire hazards, consider people who may be at risk and assess the measures needed to protect occupants.
2. What does a fire risk assessment look at?
Our assessors consider a range of factors, including potential ignition sources, combustible materials, means of escape, fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors, signage, management arrangements and the needs of people who may require additional assistance during an evacuation.
3. Can you assess warehouses and industrial premises in Tilbury?
Yes. We assess a wide range of industrial and commercial properties. For warehouses and other operational premises, the assessment can consider factors such as storage, processes, occupancy, access and egress, fire loading and the particular activities taking place within the building.
4. How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The time required depends on the size, complexity, layout and use of the premises. Smaller properties may be assessed relatively quickly, while larger commercial or industrial buildings can require considerably more time. We can provide a fixed-price quotation based on your individual requirements.
5. How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no universal review interval that applies to every building. The assessment should be reviewed when there is reason to believe it is no longer valid and whenever significant changes occur, including alterations to the premises, its use or the people who occupy it.
