Every office building is required to have an office fire risk assessment to meet its legal obligations. These assessments identify hazards such as overloaded electrical equipment, blocked escape routes, or combustible materials stored incorrectly.
Firelink’s BAFE-accredited assessors provide detailed reports with clear, prioritised actions and expert advice, so managers can demonstrate compliance and reduce risks across their premises.
Having the right extinguishers in the right place is critical. Offices often need CO2 units for electrical fires and foam or water extinguishers for paper, furnishings, and storage areas.
Firelink supplies, installs, and maintains extinguishers to British Standards, ensuring they remain ready for use during emergencies. Regular inspections are logged and certified for audits or insurer checks.
Fire protection measures must be tailored to each office environment. Open-plan offices require clearly marked assembly points and unobstructed escape routes for safe evacuations, while multi-floor buildings often need additional emergency exits and smoke control systems.
Firelink designs appropriate measures tailored to your office’s unique layout, ensuring safe evacuation for employees in the event of a fire.
BMTRADA-certified fire doors slow the spread of heat and smoke, giving staff vital time to reach safety. Firelink installs fire doors for office buildings, carries out remedial work on existing doors, and provides ongoing maintenance to ensure regulatory compliance.
Options include fire-rated office doors, internal office fire doors, and upgrades to meet current standards.
Fire protection equipment goes beyond extinguishers. Offices require smoke detectors, an office fire alarm system, emergency exit signage, and alarm systems that alert occupants quickly.
Firelink installs and maintains comprehensive workplace fire safety systems, helping facilities managers adhere to legal requirements while ensuring equipment remains reliable through regular inspections and maintenance.
Managing fire risk is not a one-time task, and ongoing monitoring helps prevent fire incidents. A risk assessment will include inspecting electrical apparatus in IT suites, careless storage of combustible materials in the communal areas, or blocked fire exits affecting the occupants means of escape.
We work closely with location managers to continually identify, monitor, and address these risks, protecting staff and ensuring the workplace remains compliant.

Fire safety equipment, such as alarms, extinguishers and emergency lighting, must adhere to British Standards. For example, extinguishers are typically visually checked weekly by staff and undergo full maintenance annually. Automatic emergency lighting is often tested monthly and fully serviced annually.
Yes. Even if the landlord is the responsible person for structural fire safety, tenants often share a legal duty to maintain safe exit routes and fire safety measures within their leased space.
Non-compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 can lead to serious consequences, including fines, prosecution, or even closure of offices. In serious cases, individuals (as duty holders) may face criminal penalties.
