Easy EPC provides fire risk assessments for commercial premises, the communal areas of blocks of flats, and HMOs across Stafford and the surrounding Staffordshire 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. As a county town, Stafford carries a commercial duty out of proportion to its housing stock.
An out-of-date or missing fire risk assessment is a breach of the Fire Safety Order, and unaddressed risks can invalidate your buildings insurance in the event of an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.
Stafford is the smallest housing stock in the Cheshire group at 34,482 homes with a valid EPC, and its fire safety profile is correspondingly commercial. 1,837 premises across the Stafford authority hold a valid commercial EPC, and as a county town a high proportion of local buildings are workplaces of one kind or another rather than dwellings.
The residential duty is modest but real: flats are 15.2% of the stock, around 5,241 properties, and 4,445 homes are privately rented. Only 14.0% of the stock pre-dates 1930, the second lowest share in this group, so Stafford's communal areas skew towards purpose-built accommodation where the assessment turns on management and maintenance rather than on fabric that was never designed to be divided.

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. Stafford sits in an authority with 1,837 commercial premises holding a valid commercial EPC, and as a county town much of the local duty is a workplace one. If your business has 5 or more employees the assessment must be kept in writing.
Yes. The Fire Safety Order covers workplaces of every kind, including offices, and does not distinguish by sector. The responsible person is normally the employer, and where five or more people are employed the assessment must be kept in writing. In a multi-let office building the landlord typically holds the common parts while each tenant holds their own floor or suite.
Fire risk assessments in Stafford 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.
