Fire risk assessments in Maynooth

Under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 (section 18(2)), the person in control of a premises must take reasonable measures to guard against fire and to protect people if one occurs. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 also requires employers to manage risks to employees. For apartment blocks, offices, cafés and shops, a fire risk assessment looks at escape routes, detection and alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers, housekeeping and procedures, and gives you a written report with practical actions.

Legionella risk assessments for landlords and managed buildings

Legionella bacteria can grow in water systems that are warm, stagnant or poorly maintained. Rental properties and apartment buildings can be affected when units are left vacant between tenancies or when shared water systems are not monitored, so landlords and managing agents should understand their duties. A Legionella risk assessment reviews your water systems and recommends control measures in line with the HPSC National Guidelines for the Control of Legionellosis in Ireland. Sampling tests the water, with samples analysed by an independent accredited laboratory.

Water tank cleaning and fire extinguishers

We clean and disinfect cold water storage tanks where needed and provide a written record of the work. We also supply and maintain fire extinguishers, including annual servicing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Maynooth and the surrounding area?

Yes. We work across Ireland, including Maynooth and the surrounding area of Co. Kildare.

What is the difference between a Legionella risk assessment and sampling?

A risk assessment reviews your water system and identifies risks and control measures. Sampling tests the water for Legionella bacteria. Many premises need both.

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

It should be reviewed regularly and whenever the premises, occupancy or layout changes significantly. We can advise on what suits your building.
