Fire Risk Assesment in Norfolk
If you manage a building in Norfolk, a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is both a legal requirement and the most effective way to protect people and property. DC2 Fire Solutions delivers professional fire risk assessments across Norfolk—including Norwich, King’s Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Thetford, Dereham, Wymondham, Attleborough, North Walsham, Cromer, Fakenham, and Downham Market—with clear, practical actions you can implement straight away.
Who needs a fire risk assessment?
If you’re a business owner, landlord, managing agent, or the Responsible Person, you must assess fire risks and maintain proportionate controls for most non-domestic premises and common areas of residential buildings. We regularly assess offices, shops, warehouses, factories, workshops, hospitality venues, schools, healthcare settings, holiday lets, and HMOs throughout Norfolk.
The legal framework—made simple
Fire safety in England is governed primarily by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with additional duties from the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings. Your assessment should also reference relevant British Standards, notably BS 5839-1 (fire detection and alarm systems) and BS 5266-1 (emergency lighting). We turn this into a straightforward, prioritised action plan that fits your building and budget.
What our Norfolk fire risk assessment covers
Every building is different, so our assessments are tailored. Typically we review:
- Ignition sources and fuel loads: electrical installations, heating, hot works, housekeeping, and storage.
- People at risk: staff, visitors, contractors, lone workers, and vulnerable persons.
- Detection and warning: system type, coverage, zoning, testing, and maintenance.
- Means of escape: travel distances, exit widths, final exits, signage, and door hardware.
- Compartmentation & fire doors: condition, integrity, and remedial priorities.
- Emergency lighting: coverage, test records, and suitability.
- Firefighting equipment: type, siting, service status, and staff proficiency.
- Management & records: policies, drills, training, permits to work, and logbooks.
- Specific risks: kitchens, plant rooms, lithium-ion batteries, portable heaters, gas installations, and storage yards.
Your report includes a photo-supported, prioritised action list with sensible timeframes—so you know what to do first and why.
