Frequently asked questions

No. FireRisk Connect is a referral and matching service. The independent assessment provider is responsible for agreeing and carrying out the assessment. We do not perform, certify or guarantee any fire risk assessment.

Costs depend on the premises, complexity, occupancy, location and scope. Typical ranges in the Midlands are £150–£300 for small premises and £300–£1,500+ for larger or more complex sites. The provider will confirm the actual quote after understanding your requirements. See our pricing guide for more detail.

In England and Wales, the responsible person must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept under review. Using a referral service does not transfer that duty. You remain responsible for ensuring the assessment is completed and acted upon.

We aim to match enquiries with providers who have relevant experience for the premises type, cover the geographic area, and have appropriate insurance and qualifications. We do not endorse or certify any provider — you should carry out your own due diligence before engaging them.

We focus on the Midlands — including Birmingham, Coventry, Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, Stoke-on-Trent, Northampton, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas. We may be able to help outside the Midlands too. See our coverage areas →

After you submit an enquiry, we aim to match you with a provider promptly. The provider will then contact you to arrange the assessment. The assessment itself typically takes a few hours on-site, with the report delivered within a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the provider and premises complexity.

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly — typically annually, or sooner if there are significant changes to the premises, occupancy, or layout. Your provider can advise on a suitable review schedule.

The enquiry form asks for your name, business name, email, phone, site postcode, premises type, approximate size, timing and any additional details. The more accurate the information, the better the match and the more precise the quote.

We only use your enquiry data to match you with a provider and share relevant details with them. We do not sell your data or use it for unrelated marketing. See our privacy notice for full details.

The independent security provider does. FireRisk Connect is a referral and matching service. The provider agrees scope, equipment, price and maintenance terms directly with you, and carries out the installation and any monitoring.
