Who needs a fire risk assessment in Islington
The buildings we are asked to assess most often across N1, N5, N7, EC1, and what the assessment looks at in each.
-
Restaurants and bars
Commercial kitchens, gas, extraction and late-night customers: the assessment covers the kitchen risk and how a full room would get out.
-
Period terraces as offices
Narrow stairs, single escape routes and alterations made over decades; the assessment checks what the original building still protects.
-
Flats above commercial units
A fire in the restaurant or shop below has to reach the people upstairs in time, so the separation and the warning are assessed together.
-
EC1 office space
Open-plan floors converted from other uses: travel distances, the number of exits and how the space is now occupied.
A restaurant with flats above it
The most common Islington building we are asked about is a restaurant or bar with flats on the floors above. The assessment has to deal with both: the kitchen, where the fire is most likely to start, and the people upstairs, who may be asleep when it does. Whether the floor between them holds, and whether the flats would know about a fire below, are the two questions that matter most.
The written report gives each finding a priority and a practical action. Where that means a linked alarm, heat detection in the kitchen, emergency lighting or fire door work, our engineers can carry it out.

What a fire risk assessment costs in Islington
A restaurant with flats above is priced differently from an office floor, because of who is inside it. Pick the closest description for an indicative range.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Fire risk assessment in Islington: your questions
Who needs the fire risk assessment for a restaurant with flats above?
The restaurant operator is responsible for the restaurant, and whoever controls the common parts of the flats (often the freeholder or managing agent) is responsible for those. Both sides need a suitable assessment, and they work best when they are done together, because the risk crosses the floor between them.
Can an assessment be done in a listed Islington building?
Yes. The assessment itself does not touch the building. Where it recommends work, the work has to respect the building, which affects how cables and doors are handled, so we plan that with you before anything is fitted.
