Your Safety Is Our Priority
Fire safety isn’t optional — it’s the law. Whether you own a business, manage a rental property, or are responsible for a public building, you must ensure a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is carried out and kept up to date.
At Durham Electrics, we provide comprehensive, compliant, and easy-to-understand Fire Risk Assessments that meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and any relevant British Standards.
Why a Fire Risk Assessment Matters
A Fire Risk Assessment does more than keep you compliant — it can save lives and protect property. By identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and putting the right safety measures in place, you drastically reduce the chance of a fire starting and spreading.
Our assessments:
-
Protect people – staff, residents, and visitors
-
Protect property – buildings, assets, and equipment
-
Protect your business – avoiding fines, closure, and reputational damage

Evaluation of Current Measures

We assess sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen supply — as well as workplace practices, building layout, and potential risks specific to your property type.

How Often Should a Fire Risk Assessment Be Reviewed?
The law requires that your Fire Risk Assessment must be kept up to date. We recommend:
-
Annual review for most premises

After any significant changes to layout, occupancy, or processes
