Understanding the fire risks within a building is an essential part of effective fire safety management.

Romsey has a distinctive historic character, with the town centre focused around the Market Place, Bell Street and the imposing Romsey Abbey. Independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, professional services and community facilities occupy a varied mixture of buildings, including older properties that may have been altered over many years. The town's historic environment and strong visitor appeal make careful consideration of building layout, escape arrangements and other fire safety measures particularly important.
Beyond the centre, areas including Cupernham, Whitenap and Tadburn form part of Romsey's wider residential and commercial community, while nearby villages such as North Baddesley, Braishfield and Michelmersh add further variety to the local property landscape. Romsey's location between Southampton, Winchester and the wider Test Valley also supports a broad business community, with commercial premises and employment areas alongside schools, care facilities and other public buildings. A property-specific fire risk assessment helps ensure the particular circumstances of each premises are properly understood.

We know that fire safety can be complex, so we’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to make the process simpler and clearer.
1. Does my Romsey business need a fire risk assessment?
For most non-domestic premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement. The assessment should identify fire hazards, consider people at risk and establish appropriate measures to reduce those risks.
2. How often should the assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every premises. Assessments should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur, including alterations to the building, changes in occupancy or use, refurbishment or changes to fire safety arrangements.
3. What does a professional fire risk assessment cover?
The assessment can consider sources of ignition, combustible materials, people at risk, escape routes, fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors and fire safety management procedures.
4. Does an older or historic building require special consideration?
The age and construction of a building can influence its fire risks and available fire precautions. Older premises may have historic construction features, later alterations or other characteristics that need to be considered within the assessment.
5. What if I have recently refurbished my premises?
Significant refurbishment can alter compartmentation, escape routes, room layouts, occupancy or other fire safety features. The existing assessment should therefore be reviewed following relevant changes to establish whether it remains appropriate.
