Easy EPC provides fire risk assessments across Bradford for commercial premises, the communal areas of blocks of flats, and HMOs. Bradford's building stock carries its industrial history - converted mills and warehouses now house businesses and apartments alike - and those large, older buildings are among the most demanding fire safety environments.
Our assessors survey the premises, identify fire risks, and produce a clear written report with an overall risk rating, action points, and the timescale for the next review.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any commercial premises must have a suitable fire risk assessment - the employer, owner, landlord or occupier. With 5 or more employees it must be kept in writing.
Residential landlords and freeholders are responsible for assessing the communal areas of blocks of flats - including houses converted into two or more flats - covering the front doors of the individual flats. With nearly 20,000 privately rented homes in Bradford, plus a substantial social housing stock, this duty applies at real scale.
An out-of-date or missing fire risk assessment is a breach of the Fire Safety Order, and unaddressed risks can invalidate your buildings insurance in the event of an incident.
Bradford is the largest housing market among the towns on this page: 106,878 homes hold a valid EPC. The stock is dominated by houses (74.1%, much of it terraced) and runs old - 35.5% pre-dates 1930, from back-to-backs to stone terraces - the kind of buildings where escape routes and compartmentation deserve careful assessment.
The rented sector is substantial: 20.7% of homes (19,929) are privately rented and 17.1% socially rented. On the commercial side, more than 6,200 premises across the Bradford district hold a valid commercial EPC, each needing a responsible person with a current fire risk assessment.

If you are responsible for a commercial premises — including Bradford's converted mills and warehouse units — the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment, kept in writing if you have 5 or more employees. Landlords of blocks of flats, including houses converted into two or more flats, must assess the communal areas.
Fire risk assessments in Bradford start from £199.95+VAT. The exact price depends on the size and complexity of the premises — a converted mill with multiple occupiers takes longer to assess than a single shop unit. Contact Easy EPC for a free, no-obligation quote.
Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly and updated whenever something changes that could make it outdated — for example a change of layout, use, or occupancy. Your report states the timescale for the next review.
In residential blocks the landlord or freeholder is responsible for the communal areas, including the front doors of individual flats. In shared commercial premises the common areas are the responsibility of the landlord, freeholder or managing agent, while anyone with control of a premises — employer, owner or occupier — can hold responsibility for their own areas.
A written report highlighting any fire risks found, an overall risk rating for the property, the priority and timescale for any action needed, and the timescale for the next review. Each element is categorised so you can see at a glance where intervention is needed.
