Quick answer
Coverage is broader than the assessor’s office address
Surrey assignments may be covered by assessors based within the county, Greater London, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire or other adjoining areas. A local postcode is useful for travel and availability, but it should not be used as the main evidence of suitability.
Describe the premises and required outcome first. Sleeping accommodation, shared residential buildings, care settings, schools, industrial processes and large or unusual premises may require different experience from a straightforward office or shop.
Four-step route
From search to suitable appointment
The journey narrows the search but does not replace verification of the named assessor and agreed scope.
Describe the premises
State its use, approximate size, storeys, occupancy and any sleeping, shared or vulnerable occupants.
Check assignment competence
Verify the named assessor and evidence appropriate to the building rather than relying on a company description alone.
Compare and confirm
Use a written scope covering attendance, report, action plan, exclusions, price, VAT and delivery.

View Surrey assessment guidePremises and purpose
Match the assessor to why the FRA is needed
The reason for commissioning the assessment often changes the documents, timing and people who need to be involved.
Business occupation
New occupation, routine review, insurer requirements, landlord coordination or changes to the workplace.
Landlord or licensing request
HMOs, shared accommodation and licensed properties may require specific evidence and coordination with agents or councils.
Construction or refurbishment
Altered layouts, compartmentation, escape routes, use or occupancy may need plans and wider fire-strategy input.
Existing report concerns
A poor, outdated or incomplete report may need review, clarification or a new assessment with an agreed scope.

Common questions
Before you continue
General guidance for premises in England, with enquiry support focused on London and Surrey.
How do I find a fire risk assessor in Surrey?
Start with the postcode and property type, then compare providers whose coverage and named assessor’s experience fit the premises. Confirm the written scope, insurance and credentials before appointment.
Must the assessor be based in Surrey?
No. Assessors based in London or adjoining counties may regularly serve Surrey. Travel distance should be considered alongside competence, availability, access and total quotation.
Which Surrey areas are covered?
Enquiries can be reviewed across Surrey, including Guildford, Woking, Epsom and Ewell, Elmbridge, Reigate and Banstead, Mole Valley, Tandridge, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath and Waverley.
Can I ask for help with an HMO or block of flats?
Yes. State the number of units, storeys, shared areas, type of occupation and any licensing or agent request. Residential and sleeping risks should be matched to appropriate assessor experience.
Will the postcode checker book an appointment?
No. It provides a starting point and passes information into a no-obligation enquiry. Scope, availability, price and appointment terms must be confirmed separately.
