At Staines Safety Services, we provide expert fire risk assessments in Northumberland and across the North East of England. As a UK-wide fire safety consultancy with full national coverage and our head office in the North East, our accredited team delivers tailored, high-quality assessments that meet the specific needs of Northumberland’s rural, coastal, and urban properties.
Why You Need a Professional Fire Risk Assessment in Northumberland
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a clear legal duty on the “responsible person” (owner, employer, or landlord) to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for all non-domestic premises and the common parts of residential buildings.
This includes offices, shops, factories, warehouses, care homes, schools, pubs, hotels, farms, and heritage buildings throughout Northumberland.Non-compliance can lead to enforcement notices, fines, or prosecution. More importantly, it puts people at risk. A thorough fire risk assessment Northumberland from Staines Safety Services identifies hazards early and ensures full legal protection.
What Our Fire Risk Assessment in Northumberland Includes
Our fully qualified assessors follow the UK government’s official five-step process to produce clear, practical, and actionable reports:
- Identify fire hazards (ignition sources, combustible materials, and oxygen).
- Identify people at risk (staff, visitors, contractors, and vulnerable groups).
- Evaluate, remove, or reduce the risks.
- Record findings, prepare an emergency plan, and deliver training.
- Review and update the assessment regularly — especially after any building or process changes.

- Inspection of every fire door and frame for damage, gaps, and seals
- Checks on intumescent strips, smoke seals, hinges, closers, and glazing
- Assessment of installation standards and certification
