Fire Zones UK provides specialist fire risk assessments to businesses, landlords, and responsible persons across Woking — delivered by an NFRAR Tier 2 registered assessor with 15 years of experience in the fire and security industry.
Woking is one of Surrey’s most commercially active towns and a key employment centre for the county. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every responsible person — whether a business owner, landlord, or managing agent — must hold a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for any non-domestic premises or residential building with shared areas. The Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have added further obligations for multi-occupied residential buildings, including requirements around structure, external walls, flat entrance doors, and resident information — all of which have been in force since January 2023.
Stuart Mair holds Tier 2 registration with the National Fire Risk Assessors Register, providing a recognised benchmark of professional competence and accountability for clients across Woking.
We do not sell fire safety equipment or carry out remediation work. Our only service is fire risk assessment — and that singular focus means every client gets an expert, not a generalist.
With no commercial relationships with third-party suppliers or contractors, every assessment Fire Zones UK delivers is completely impartial — an honest evaluation of risk, not a sales lead.
From new-build apartment blocks in Woking's regenerated centre to older commercial stock and HMOs across the borough, we have experience assessing the full range of premises types.
Our assessments address the full current legislative framework, including the RR(FS)O 2005, the Fire Safety Act 2021, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 — keeping you compliant as the law evolves.
Based in Surrey and serving Woking and the surrounding area, Fire Zones UK can typically offer shorter lead times than national providers, with a local assessor who understands the area.
Woking is served by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which identifies the town as one of its key large urban areas alongside Guildford and Redhill. SFRS looks after a population of over one million people across Surrey, and its borough-level planning identifies Woking as one of the county’s main employment and commercial centres — concentrating a significant number of businesses, workers, and residents into a compact area. Research shows that 60% of businesses do not recover following a serious fire — for Woking’s business community, a compliant fire risk assessment is not just a legal obligation, but a core part of protecting the viability of your operations.
Yes. Any workplace or commercial premises in Woking where people are employed or to which members of the public have access requires a current fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person — typically the employer or building owner — must ensure this assessment is in place, kept up to date, and acted upon.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 came into force on 23 January 2023 and introduced new obligations for responsible persons in multi-occupied residential buildings. These include requirements to share fire safety information with residents, carry out regular inspections of fire doors in communal areas, and maintain records of fire safety measures. If you manage or own a residential block in Woking, these regulations are likely to apply to you.
We aim to accommodate client timescales wherever possible. If you have received an enforcement notice, are due for a lease renewal requiring a current assessment, or have identified a compliance gap that needs addressing promptly, contact us to discuss availability. Being locally based in Surrey means we can often offer shorter lead times than nationally operating providers.
