Alton is an historic Hampshire town with a busy High Street combining independent retailers, national chains, cafés, restaurants and other businesses. Many of the town's commercial properties occupy older buildings, including timber-framed structures behind historic façades, creating a varied built environment where fire safety considerations can differ considerably between premises. The town's heritage attractions, including the Curtis Museum, Allen Gallery and Mid-Hants Railway's Watercress Line, also contribute to a diverse mix of public-facing and visitor premises.
Beyond the town centre, Alton includes established employment areas and commercial premises alongside residential neighbourhoods and the separate village of Holybourne. Anstey Park provides a substantial community and sporting setting with sports clubs, changing facilities and other occupied buildings, while the wider area continues to include a mixture of businesses, community facilities and residential developments. Safe I.S. considers the individual use, occupancy, layout and existing precautions of each property when carrying out a fire risk assessment.

We’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to make your risk assessment feel simpler and clearer.
1. Is a fire risk assessment legally required in Alton?
For most non-domestic premises in England, the responsible person is required to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The requirements apply to a wide range of workplaces and other non-domestic premises.
2. What does a fire risk assessment cover?
An assessment considers fire hazards, sources of ignition and fuel, people who may be at risk, existing fire precautions, escape routes and emergency arrangements. The findings are evaluated to identify measures that may be needed to remove, reduce or manage fire risks.
3. How often should assessments be reviewed?
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed annually or whenever significant changes occur in the property or its operations.
4. How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The duration depends on the size, complexity and use of the premises. Smaller properties may require less time, while larger or more complex buildings need a more detailed inspection and assessment.
5. Can older or historic buildings in Alton be assessed?
Yes. Older buildings can present particular considerations relating to construction, alterations, escape routes and existing fire precautions. Our assessors consider the characteristics and current use of each individual property.
