A fire risk assessment is an essential part of effective fire safety management, helping identify potential hazards, consider the people who could be affected and assess whether existing precautions are appropriate. Keeping the assessment under review is equally important when there are changes to a building, its occupancy or the activities taking place within it.
At Safe I.S., we provide professional fire risk assessments throughout Andover for businesses, landlords, property managers and other responsible persons.

Andover combines a traditional town centre with substantial commercial and employment areas. The town centre around the High Street, Chantry Street and Bridge Street includes shops, cafés, restaurants, offices and other public-facing premises, while the Andover Business Park and Walworth Industrial Estate provide space for a wide range of commercial, manufacturing, distribution and logistics businesses. These different environments can present very different fire safety considerations, making a property-specific assessment important.
The wider Andover area includes established neighbourhoods alongside newer residential developments, community facilities, schools, healthcare premises and leisure venues. Portway also forms an important commercial and employment area, with businesses operating across a varied collection of premises. Safe I.S. considers the individual use, occupancy, layout and existing fire precautions of each property when carrying out a fire risk assessment.

We know that fire safety can be complex, so we’ve compiled some popular questions to make the process simpler and clearer.
1. What does a fire risk assessment include?
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.
2. How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The duration depends on the size, complexity and use of the premises. A smaller property may require less time, whereas larger or more complex buildings need a more detailed inspection and assessment.
3. How often should assessments be reviewed?
There is no single review interval that applies to every property. Assessments should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur that could affect fire safety, such as alterations to the building, changes in occupancy or use, refurbishment or new activities.
4. Should my assessment be reviewed after refurbishment or building work?
Yes, where changes could affect the fire risks or existing fire safety arrangements. Alterations to the layout, escape routes, compartmentation, occupancy or use of the premises can all warrant a review.
5. Can you provide services outside Andover?
Yes, our fire risk assessment services extend nationwide, ensuring fire safety wherever it’s needed.
