Wondering what a fire risk assessment will cost? Every building is different, so there is no one-size price. We assess how much work your premises needs and give you a clear written quote before any work begins. Call 086 275 9728 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Why every quote is different
A small shop and a multi-storey nursing home need very different amounts of time, detail and reporting. Rather than guess, we find out what your building requires and price the job to match, so you only pay for the work that is needed.
What affects the cost
- Floor area and number of floors
- How many people use the building, and whether anyone sleeps there
- The type of premises, for example an office compared with a nursing home or hotel
- The complexity of escape routes, fire doors, alarms and emergency lighting
- Whether you need other services on the same visit, such as a Legionella risk assessment
What a proper assessment should include
A good fire risk assessment is more than a checklist. It should identify fire hazards and who is at risk, review escape routes, detection and alarm, emergency lighting and fire extinguishers, and give you a written report with a prioritised action list. If you have control of a building, you have duties under section 18(2) of the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, and employers must assess workplace risks, including fire, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Read what happens next in our guide: what to do after a fire risk assessment.

Be careful with very cheap quotes
A very low price can mean a quick generic report that does not reflect your building. Ask what is included, who carries out the assessment, how long they will spend on site and what you receive at the end. Our fire risk assessment service gives you a written report that is specific to your premises.
How to get a quote
Tell us the address, the type of building, the approximate size and how it is used. We will assess what is involved and confirm the price and what is included in writing. Call 086 275 9728, email info@safersolutions.ie or send us a message. We are open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm.
Save by combining visits

Frequently asked questions
How much does a fire risk assessment cost in Ireland?
There is no single price, because every building needs a different amount of work. We look at your premises, then give you a clear written quote before any work starts. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Is the cost different in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway?
The cost is driven by what your premises needs, not the city. We confirm everything, including location, in a written quote.
What affects the cost of a fire risk assessment?
The main factors are floor area, number of floors, how many people use the building, the type of use (for example a nursing home compared with an office), and how complex the escape routes and fire protection systems are.
What do I get?
A written fire risk assessment report with findings and a prioritised action list, so you know what to fix first and can show that you have taken reasonable steps.
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
Review it whenever there are significant changes to the building, its use or the people in it, and at regular intervals agreed against your risk assessment. We can advise on a sensible schedule.
Can I combine a fire risk assessment with a Legionella risk assessment?
Yes. If your premises needs both, ask us about a combined visit.
