Nottingham restaurants & pubs: assessments, alarms, doors & extinguishers
We cover restaurants & pubs fire compliance across Nottingham as a single engagement — assessment, action-plan remedials, alarm and extinguisher cover — rather than three separate engineers turning up to the same building. Most City centre sites are scoped, quoted and booked inside the same week.

Legal context
What the law actually requires for restaurants & pubs duty-holders in Nottingham
Hospitality premises are higher risk under the RRO 2005. Where there's residential accommodation above (publican's flat, staff rooms, B&B), the assessment must address the full vertical fire strategy. Local Environmental Health and licensing teams often request sight of the fire risk assessment as part of premises licence reviews. Inside NG1/NG2/NG3/NG7/NG8 we see Nottingham City Council ask for this evidence verbatim at routine inspection, which is why our wording mirrors theirs.
Annual review, full reassessment every 1–2 years, plus immediately after kitchen refurb, change of menu (e.g. introducing a deep-fat fryer) or change of upstairs use.
Risk profile
What makes restaurants & pubs sites in Nottingham different
- Deep-fat fryers and chargrills are the single biggest hospitality ignition source
- Extract ductwork accumulates grease — most kitchen fires spread via the duct
- Cellar CO2 / nitrogen and LPG bulk stores need dedicated detection
- Public liquor consumption reduces evacuation speed
What we typically find
Recurring findings on NG1/NG2/NG3/NG7/NG8 restaurants & pubs jobs
- Smoke detection missing in the protected route to flats above
- Cellar fire-resisting door wedged for cellarman convenience
- No wet-chemical extinguisher in the kitchen
- Final exits locked or blocked by stacked chairs at closing time
On-site scope
What a restaurants & pubs visit looks like in Nottingham
- Type 2 fire risk assessment if accommodation above, otherwise Type 1
- Kitchen extract grease-cleaning frequency check (TR/19 hospitality)
- Wet-chemical extinguisher provision for fryers
- BS 5839-1 alarm review focused on protecting any sleeping risk above
- Crowd / capacity check against trading licence
