Fire Risk Assessments for Retail & Shopping Centres
Retail and shopping centres are busy, complex environments — high footfall, multiple tenants, varied fire risks, and zero room for error. At Hicksfield, we specialise in professional Fire Risk Assessments for retail premises and shopping centres, helping you stay compliant, protect lives, and keep your business running safely.
Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter in Retail
From flagship stores to multi-level shopping centres, retail environments face unique fire safety challenges:
-
Large numbers of staff and members of the public
-
High-risk ignition sources (electrical displays, lighting, kitchens)
-
Flammable stock and seasonal layouts
-
Shared escape routes and common areas
-
Multiple duty holders and tenants
A suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s essential for life safety, business continuity, and reputation protection.
Our Retail Fire Risk Assessment Service
Hicksfield delivers clear, practical, and fully compliant Fire Risk Assessments tailored to the realities of retail spaces.
We assess:
-
Fire hazards and ignition sources
-
People at risk, including vulnerable occupants
-
Means of escape and travel distances
-
Fire detection, alarms, and emergency lighting
-
Compartmentation and fire doors

You’ll receive a detailed yet easy-to-understand report, prioritised actions, and clear guidance on next steps.
