Don’t Let a Fire Risk Close Your Doors

The fast-paced nature of food service creates high fire risk – especially with heat, grease, and busy staff. Ignoring fire safety regulations can have devastating consequences:

  • Grease build-up and unmaintained extraction systems are leading causes of kitchen fires.
  • Inadequate compartmentation can allow fire to spread rapidly, especially in multi-use premises.
  • Non-compliance can result in fines, legal action, or enforced closure.

It’s not worth the risk. Book your fire risk assessment today.

We assess compartmentation, escape routes, and fire separation in mixed-use buildings. If your restaurant is part of a multi-use property or has accommodation above, this is especially critical.
