Commercial & Retail Fire Safety
Risk Assessments, Surveys & Training
Running a commercial or retail property comes with a duty of care — to your staff, customers, and business. At Exit Fire Safety, we help you meet that responsibility with comprehensive commercial fire safety services designed to protect people, property, and operations.
Our experienced team works with businesses across the UK to deliver fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys, fire door inspections, and fire safety training — ensuring compliance, confidence, and complete peace of mind.
PROTECTING BUSINESSES THROUGH PRACTICAL FIRE SAFETY
Whether you manage a single retail unit or a portfolio of commercial properties, fire safety must be built into daily operations. Our specialists bring together real-world fire service experience and technical expertise to ensure every aspect of your fire safety management is effective, compliant, and up to date.
We don’t just identify risks — we help you control and eliminate them through practical, actionable recommendations that work for your premises and your people.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
Every business must have a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Our qualified assessors carry out detailed reviews of your premises to identify potential hazards, assess risk levels, and recommend proportionate control measures — helping you achieve compliance and protect your staff, customers, and assets.
Key deliverables include:
- Identification of ignition sources, fuel, and oxygen supply.
- Review of escape routes, signage, alarms, and lighting.
- Assessment of fire doors, detection systems, and compartmentation.
- Action plan for compliance improvements.
- Digital reporting with prioritised recommendations.
COMPARTMENTATION SURVEYS
Fire compartmentation is critical in limiting fire and smoke spread within a building.
Our compartmentation surveys provide a detailed evaluation of fire-resisting elements — walls, floors, ceilings, service risers, and penetrations — to ensure your fire strategy remains effective.
We identify breaches, inadequate sealing, and damaged fire-stopping, delivering a clear report with photographic evidence and remedial recommendations that align with current British Standards and Building Regulations.
FIRE DOOR SURVEYS
Fire doors are one of the most important — and most overlooked — safety features in commercial and retail environments.
Our trained inspectors assess each door set for compliance with BS 8214 and BM Trada standards, checking gaps, seals, hinges, closers, glazing, and signage to ensure they perform as intended during a fire.
We provide:
- Comprehensive on-site inspections.
- Condition reports with evidence and compliance status.
- Recommendations for repair, upgrade, or replacement.
FIRE SAFETY AND RISK ASSESSMENT TRAINING
Empower your staff with the knowledge and confidence to act safely in an emergency.
Our fire safety training courses are tailored to your premises and workforce, covering everything from basic fire awareness to responsible person duties under fire legislation.
Fire safety isn’t a one-off exercise — it’s an ongoing responsibility. With Exit Fire Safety as your partner, you can be confident your commercial or retail premises are protected to the highest standard.
