What affects the premises inspection report cost
Every building differs in size, layout and use, so the time spent on site and the length of the written record change accordingly.
- Floor area and room count
- More rooms mean more spaces to walk through, measure and record in the final document.
- Type of occupancy
- A small office has different hazards from a block of flats, changing the depth of the inspection required.
- Combined visits
- Booking the health and safety report at the same visit as a fire risk assessment reduces travel but adds scope.
- Number of employees or residents
- Even if you only employ three people, the law still requires a general risk assessment for a small business.
The specialist explains the premises inspection report cost before anything is agreed.
Common questions
What employers and managing agents ask before booking
These are the points that come up most often when someone arranges a general risk assessment for a small business or shared building.
- Combining fire and health inspections Yes. The specialist can carry out the health and safety report at the same visit as the fire risk assessment. This saves arranging separate access to the building.
- What to have ready Before the inspector arrives, gather floor plans, maintenance logs, previous risk assessments and details of any accidents. Having these ready speeds up the visit.
- How quickly you get the report The specialist confirms the turnaround time before the visit. Most written reports follow within days, depending on the size of the building and the number of findings.
- Priorities, not just a list The report ranks each finding by urgency. You see what must be fixed first to keep people safe and meet legal duties, rather than reading a flat list of problems.
What you receive after the inspection
The specialist produces a written record based on what they observed on site. It sets out the hazards found, who might be harmed and the steps needed to control each risk.
- Written risk assessment
- A document listing every hazard found, the people affected and the current controls already in place at your building.
- Action plan with priorities
- Clear steps ranked by urgency so you know which repairs or changes to make first to reduce harm.
- Evidence for insurers
- Insurers accept this written report as evidence that you have identified and recorded the risks in your premises.
