Easy EPC provides fire risk assessments for commercial premises, the communal areas of blocks of flats, and HMOs across Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire towns.
Our assessors survey the premises, identify the fire risks, and produce a clear written report with an overall risk rating, prioritised 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. If the business has 5 or more employees, it must be kept in writing.
For residential property, landlords and freeholders are responsible for assessing the communal areas of any block of flats, including houses converted into two or more flats, and the assessment must cover the front doors of the individual flats. Shrewsbury is commercially dense for its size, and its historic centre puts many of those premises in buildings that predate modern fire design.
An out-of-date or missing fire risk assessment is a breach of the Fire Safety Order, and unaddressed risks can invalidate your buildings insurance in the event of an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.
Shrewsbury carries a large commercial duty relative to its housing. 4,450 commercial premises across the Shropshire authority hold a valid commercial EPC, against a domestic stock of 38,878 homes. In a historic county town a good share of those premises occupy old buildings, which is where the workplace duty and the constraints of protected fabric meet.
On the residential side flats are 13.5% of the stock, around 5,249 properties, and 18.4% of homes pre-date 1930. 6,052 homes are privately rented. Where a flat sits above a commercial unit, the two parts usually have different responsible persons but share a structure, so the assessment has to look at the building rather than at one tenancy.

If you are responsible for a commercial premises, or you are the landlord of a block of flats (including a house converted into two or more flats), the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment. Shrewsbury sits in an authority with 4,450 commercial premises holding a valid commercial EPC, so the workplace duty is widespread locally. If your business has 5 or more employees the assessment must be kept in writing.
The legal duty is the same, but the practical answer often differs. Historic fabric limits what can be altered, so an assessment on an older building tends to lean more on detection, management and maintenance than on structural change. That is a common position in Shrewsbury's centre.
Fire risk assessments in Shrewsbury start from £199.95+VAT. The exact price depends on the size and complexity of the premises. A small block's communal areas cost less to assess than a large commercial building. 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.
