Should your Surrey FRA be reviewed now?
Use a short check for obvious review triggers. This does not determine compliance or replace examination of the actual assessment and premises.

How to compare fire risk assessment quotes in Surrey
A headline fee is only useful when the premises and deliverables are clear. Compare written scopes, assessor competence and follow-up arrangements rather than assuming every “FRA” includes the same work.
Named premises and areas
Address, uses, floors, outbuildings, shared areas and any residential scope.
Competent site inspection
The named assessor, expected access and enough time for the actual complexity.
Evidence review
Relevant plans, previous FRA, strategy, maintenance, training and change information.
Recorded findings
Full findings, limitations, photographs or location references where useful.
Prioritised action plan
Clear required outcomes, risk-based priorities and matters needing specialist investigation.
Price and follow-up
VAT, travel, report timing, clarification, revisions and exclusions stated explicitly.

Local context
Fire risk assessment considerations across Surrey
Surrey had 1,203,108 residents and 481,818 households at the 2021 Census. It combines dense commuter towns, rural communities, historic centres, business parks, industrial estates and substantial residential, education and care premises. The risks and suitable precautions in a converted town-centre property can differ considerably from those in a modern office, warehouse or rural hospitality venue.
Surrey-i recorded 70,185 local business units in March 2024, with professional services, construction, information and communication, and business-support activities among the leading sectors. A local quote should therefore be based on the individual premises rather than the county alone. Size, use, sleeping accommodation, vulnerable occupants, access, construction and the quality of existing records all influence the work required.
Town-centre conversions
Older shops, offices and flats can have altered layouts, shared stairs and several responsible persons.
Care and education
Surrey has many schools, nurseries and care premises where evacuation needs require careful consideration.
Hospitality and rural premises
Hotels, pubs, venues and guest accommodation may combine sleeping risk with unfamiliar visitors.
Commercial estates
Warehouses, offices and light-industrial units need assessments reflecting processes, storage and occupancy.
What to expect
What a fire risk assessment should involve
A competent assessment is specific to the building and the people who use it. It is more than a generic checklist or certificate.
- 1
Define the premises
Confirm the use, size, storeys, occupancy, sleeping risk and any people who may need assistance.
- 2
Review information
Consider plans, previous assessments, alarm and emergency-lighting records, maintenance evidence and known changes.
- 3
Inspect the building
Identify fire hazards, people at risk, escape arrangements, detection, warning, compartmentation and management controls.
- 4
Record findings and actions
Document significant findings in full, prioritise shortcomings and set proportionate actions with responsible owners.
- 5
Review when needed
Keep the assessment under regular review and revisit it after material changes, incidents or evidence that it may no longer be valid.
Legal framework
Fire safety law applying in Surrey
Surrey does not have a separate general fire risk assessment regime. The main duties below apply across England, with additional requirements depending on the building and its use.
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
The responsible person must make a suitable and sufficient assessment, take general fire precautions, appoint competent assistance where needed and keep the assessment under review. Findings must be recorded in full.
Fire Safety Act 2021
For buildings containing two or more domestic premises, the Fire Safety Order's scope is clarified to include the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors.
Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
These regulations add duties for responsible persons in multi-occupied residential buildings, with requirements increasing for buildings of specified heights.
Building Safety Act 2022
Higher-risk residential buildings can also have a separate building-safety regime. Fire Safety Order duties still need to be coordinated with the people responsible under that regime.
Important: The exact duties depend on control of the premises, building type and circumstances. This page is general information, not legal advice or a substitute for a site-specific assessment.
Choosing competent help
Check the person as well as the company
BAFE SP205 is a third-party certification scheme for organisations providing life-safety fire risk assessments. The National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR), administered by the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, registers individual assessors who have completed its competency-assessment process and records the level of work for which they have been assessed.
BAFE and NFRAR provide different, complementary evidence: one relates to an organisation's assessment processes and the other to an individual assessor's competence. Neither removes the need to confirm that the proposed assessor has suitable experience for your particular premises. Before appointment, check current certification or registration, competency level where applicable, relevant experience, professional indemnity and public liability insurance, the inspection and report scope, timescale, fees and how follow-up questions will be handled.
Common questions
Fire risk assessment FAQs for Surrey
How do I find a fire risk assessor in Surrey?
Describe the premises accurately, then check that the proposed assessor has suitable competence and experience for its use and complexity. Compare the inspection and report scope, action-plan deliverables, insurance, timing, exclusions and total price before making an appointment.
Can I compare fire risk assessment quotes in Surrey?
Yes. Give each provider the same building information and ask them to confirm the exact inspection areas, evidence review, report, action plan, assessor competence, travel, VAT, timescale, follow-up and exclusions. This produces a more meaningful comparison than headline price alone.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost in Surrey?
Prices vary with the premises type, size, storeys, use, occupancy, complexity, travel, urgency and report scope. Accurate information about the building produces a more reliable quotation than a generic county-wide headline price.
Which parts of Surrey are covered?
Enquiries are accepted across all Surrey districts and boroughs, including Guildford, Woking, Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Reigate and Banstead, Surrey Heath, Spelthorne, Runnymede, Mole Valley, Tandridge and Waverley.
What are East Surrey and West Surrey on this website?
The two area guides follow the confirmed boundaries of the East Surrey and West Surrey unitary councils due to start on 1 April 2027. Until then, Surrey County Council and the existing 11 district and borough councils continue to operate. The grouping is used for local navigation and provider matching; it does not alter fire-safety duties.
How many fires did Surrey Fire and Rescue Service attend?
The service reported 1,799 calls attended as fires in 2024/25, including 388 significant accidental dwelling fires. County statistics provide context only and do not predict the risk or compliance of an individual building.
Who enforces fire safety law in Surrey?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the principal enforcing authority for most premises covered by the Fire Safety Order in Surrey. Specialist premises can fall under a different enforcing authority.
Can a Surrey business complete its own assessment?
A responsible person can complete an assessment if they are competent and the premises and risks are sufficiently straightforward. Professional help is sensible for sleeping accommodation, vulnerable occupants, complex buildings or whenever the responsible person is unsure.
How often should a Surrey fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no separate Surrey interval. It must be reviewed regularly and when significant changes, incidents or new information suggest that it may no longer be valid.
Are the listed assessors recommended by this website?
No. The directory records providers shown as SP205-registered in the BAFE register when checked. Verify current registration, relevant competence, insurance, scope and terms directly before appointment.
Directory and enquiry disclosure
Independent information and dated checks
Provider information was reviewed on 24 July 2026. The public BAFE provider search returned an error during this update, so registration identifiers were supported by earlier register results and available certification evidence and must be re-checked before appointment. Ratings are displayed by Google; Fire Safety Services has not verified individual reviews. Inclusion is not endorsement, recommendation, accreditation, a quality guarantee or a complete list of providers.
Always check current registration, relevant competence, insurance, scope, price and terms directly. Fire Safety Services is not affiliated with the listed providers, BAFE, NFRAR, the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, Google, the Government or Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Quote enquiries are received by Fire Safety Services and may be shared with a provider able to serve the area; that provider may not be one of the companies listed above. The responsible person remains legally responsible for compliance and for appointing competent assistance.
