Does your Cardiff premises require a fire risk assessment?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess fire risk and put suitable fire precautions in place. This applies to most non-domestic premises and to the shared areas of certain residential buildings.
Employers and business owners
Employers and people controlling commercial premises must identify fire hazards, protect occupants and keep their assessment under review.
Landlords and managing agents
Those responsible for shared residential areas, HMOs and managed buildings must consider the safety of residents, visitors and contractors.
Charities and public organisations
Community buildings, educational premises, care facilities and public-facing organisations also have fire safety responsibilities.
What is included in a fire risk assessment?
Every building is different. The assessment is based on the way your Cardiff premises is constructed, occupied and managed—not a generic checklist applied without context.
- Potential sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen
- People who may be especially at risk
- Fire detection and warning arrangements
- Emergency lighting and escape routes
- Fire doors and compartmentation
- Firefighting equipment and signage
- Housekeeping and storage arrangements
- Staff information, instruction and training
- Emergency procedures and record keeping
- Management systems and review arrangements
Once the site inspection is complete, you receive a written report explaining the findings and identifying any actions needed.

Cardiff fire risk assessment FAQs
How much does a fire risk assessment cost in Cardiff?
The cost depends on the size, layout, use and complexity of the premises. Contact Firebugged with some basic property details and we can provide a quotation based on the work required.
Who is responsible for arranging the assessment?
Responsibility usually rests with the employer, owner, landlord, managing agent, occupier or another person who controls the premises. More than one responsible person can exist where responsibility is shared.
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
It should be kept under regular review and reconsidered whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid. Changes to the building, occupancy, working practices or fire precautions can all trigger a review.
Do small Cardiff businesses need a written assessment?
Fire safety duties can apply regardless of the size of the business. Responsible persons should record the assessment and fire safety arrangements in full, rather than relying on an undocumented inspection.
What happens after the site inspection?
You receive a written report setting out the significant findings and any recommended actions. The actions are presented clearly so you can understand which matters should be addressed first.
Can Firebugged assess an HMO or block of flats in Cardiff?
Yes. Firebugged assesses HMOs and communal residential areas. The scope will depend on the type of building and the areas under your control.
