What moves the price
- Complexity of the premises — sleeping accommodation or high occupancy needs a more detailed fire risk assessment than a small office.
- Level of detail required in the assessment — a full report with an action plan takes longer than a basic fire risk check.
- Whether additional services such as training are included — staff fire safety training adds a session to the assessment fee.
- Property's size — a larger building with more floors and exits takes the assessor longer to inspect.
