Common questions
What occupiers ask about industrial unit fire safety
Warehouses, workshops and studios across the estate share common concerns about racking, mezzanines and shared boundaries with neighbouring tenants.
- Racking and stored goods A warehouse fire assessment in West London must cover racking and stored goods. The assessor looks at how materials are stacked, their proximity to ignition sources and whether they block designated walkways.
- Single escape routes If your unit has only one way out to the service road, the assessor will evaluate it. They consider travel distance, occupancy levels and whether additional protection is needed for that route.
- Time on site For a mid-sized depot off Abbey Road, the fire assessor for depots in NW10 typically needs a few hours. The duration depends on floor area, complexity and the number of separate rooms.
- Working around picking hours The visit can happen outside picking hours so the warehouse keeps running. The fire risk assessor for a commercial unit arranges a time that avoids disrupting daily operations.
- Sublet studios and duty holders When part of a unit is sublet as a studio, the duty holder for shared areas must be established. A fire safety check for a studio unit clarifies who holds responsibility for corridors and shared exits.
- Landlord copies and costs The estate landlord may request a copy of the written assessment. Costs for assessing a workshop with a mezzanine and a paint store depend on size and hazards present.
