How much does a fire risk assessment cost?
The cost of a fire risk assessment depends on several factors. Here's what to expect and how to get an accurate quote.
Factors that affect cost
- Premises size — larger buildings take longer to assess and cost more
- Premises type — complex sites like care homes or industrial units require specialist expertise
- Number of floors — multi-storey buildings need more time per floor
- Occupancy — buildings with many occupants or vulnerable groups need more detailed assessment
- Location — providers may charge travel costs for sites outside their usual area
- Existing documentation — if a previous assessment exists, a review may cost less than a full new assessment
Typical price ranges
Prices vary widely, but the following ranges are typical for the Midlands:
| Premises type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Small office / shop (under 200 m²) | £150 – £300 |
| Medium premises (200–1,000 m²) | £300 – £600 |
| Large premises (1,000–5,000 m²) | £600 – £1,500 |
| Complex / multi-site | £1,500+ |
These ranges are indicative only. The provider will confirm the actual quote after understanding your specific requirements.
How to get an accurate quote
The best way to get an accurate price is to submit an enquiry with your premises details. Include the postcode, premises type, approximate size and any specific requirements. The provider will then contact you with a confirmed quote.
Reviews and ongoing assessments
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly — typically annually, or sooner if there are significant changes to the premises. Many providers offer discounted rates for review assessments or ongoing arrangements.
