Easy EPC provides fire risk assessments in Ilkley for commercial premises, guest accommodation, and the communal areas of blocks of flats. Ilkley's town centre mixes independent shops, cafes and offices - many in Victorian stone buildings with flats above - which is precisely the kind of mixed-use property where fire safety duties overlap.
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 converted houses of two or more flats - covering the front doors of the individual flats.
An out-of-date or missing fire risk assessment is a breach of the Fire Safety Order, and unaddressed risks can invalidate your buildings insurance in the event of an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.
Ilkley has 9,769 homes with a valid EPC. For a Yorkshire market town its flat share is notable - 26.9% of homes are flats, many in converted stone villas and above-shop premises - and a quarter of the stock (25.1%) pre-dates 1930. Those older conversions, with shared stairwells and single escape routes, are where communal-area assessments earn their keep.
The private rental market runs to 1,206 homes (14.2%). Commercially, Ilkley sits within the Bradford district, where more than 6,200 premises hold a valid commercial EPC - each needing a responsible person with a current fire risk assessment.

Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly and updated whenever something changes that could make it outdated — for example a change of layout, use, or occupancy.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.
