Safety Spectrum London provides professional Fire Risk Assessment London services for landlords, freeholders, managing agents, property managers, employers and businesses throughout London and surrounding M25 areas.
Our experienced fire risk assessors inspect the premises, identify potential fire hazards, consider the people who may be at risk and evaluate the existing fire-safety measures. Every fire safety risk assessment is based on the actual building, its use, occupancy and existing fire-safety arrangements rather than a generic checklist. Following the assessment, you receive a clear written Fire Risk Assessment report explaining the significant findings, identified fire-safety concerns and recommended actions. We provide fire risk assessments in London for residential, commercial, communal and mixed-use premises.

Safety Spectrum London provides professional fire risk assessment services for residential and commercial premises throughout the capital. A suitable FRA should do more than complete a standard checklist. It should identify potential hazards, establish who could be at risk, evaluate existing fire precautions and provide practical recommendations where improvements are required.
For homes, apartments, and buildings with shared spaces. We check the lighting, alarms, fire doors, escape routes and shared spaces.
For businesses, offices, stores, restaurants, gyms, and more. Our main concerns are the safety of our employees, the safety of our customers.
For HMOs that have a licence and those that don't. We make sure that we follow the rules set by the local government and our licenses.
For blocks that were built for a specific purpose or changed. We look at stairwells, hallways, communal areas, and fire separation.
For residential and commercial properties. We assess fire risks and identify asbestos materials to ensure full legal compliance, safety, and risk management.
A fire risk assessment is a structured examination of premises designed to identify potential fire hazards, establish who could be at risk and evaluate whether existing fire precautions are suitable. The assessment helps the Responsible Person understand the level of fire risk within the premises and determine what measures may be necessary to reduce those risks. A professional fire safety risk assessment considers both physical fire-protection measures and the way fire safety is managed within the building. Further information about statutory fire-safety responsibilities is available through the official UK Government fire safety legislation and guidance.
One of the most common questions is who is responsible for completing a fire risk assessment?
For premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsibility rests with the Responsible Person.
Depending on the property, the Responsible Person may be:
Where more than one Responsible Person has duties within a building, those parties may need to cooperate and coordinate their fire-safety arrangements.
A competent professional fire risk assessor can be appointed to carry out or assist with the assessment, but overall responsibility for managing fire safety remains with the Responsible Person.
For more answers about responsibility, reports, frequency and FRA requirements, visit our Fire Risk Assessment FAQs.
Fire Risk Assessments can be required across workplaces, commercial buildings and relevant multi-occupied residential premises.
Landlords and Property Owners: A landlord fire risk assessment may be required where the landlord has control of premises or common areas covered by fire-safety legislation.
Managing Agents and Freeholders: Managing agents, block managers and freeholders frequently manage communal fire-safety arrangements within apartment blocks and other residential developments.
Employers and Businesses: Employers need to assess and appropriately manage fire risks in workplaces falling within fire-safety legislation.
HMOs and Shared Accommodation: HMOs can require particular consideration of: Means of escape, Fire alarms, Fire doors, Emergency lighting, Compartmentation, Occupancy, Fire-safety management
Blocks of Flats: The assessment of a block of flats can include relevant common parts, flat entrance doors and other areas falling within the applicable fire-safety regime.
The principal fire risk assessment legal requirement for relevant premises is established through the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The Responsible Person must ensure that an appropriate Fire Risk Assessment is carried out and kept under review.
The Fire Safety Order applies to workplaces, non-domestic premises and relevant parts of many multi-occupied residential buildings.
Responsibilities can include:
Official guidance for Responsible Persons is available from GOV.UK Fire Safety Guidance.
The Fire Safety Act 2021 clarified the scope of the Fire Safety Order for multi-occupied residential buildings containing two or more sets of domestic premises.
This includes relevant consideration of:
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 introduced additional requirements for certain multi-occupied residential buildings. In relevant buildings where the top storey is more than 11 metres above ground level, the regulations require checks of communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance fire doors at least every 12 months.
Changes introduced through Section 156 strengthened the recording and information requirements associated with the Fire Safety Order. Responsible Persons should ensure that relevant Fire Risk Assessment findings and fire-safety arrangements are properly recorded.
The precise fire risk assessment requirements depend on the building type, occupancy, use, construction and risks present.
A suitable Fire Risk Assessment can consider fire hazards, ignition sources, combustible materials, people at risk, vulnerable occupants, means of escape, final exits, fire doors, compartmentation, fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, fire-safety signs, emergency procedures, staff training, fire drills, inspection records, testing and maintenance, and overall fire-safety management.
The assessment should reflect the actual property, its use and its individual fire risks rather than relying solely on a generic template.
Professional fire risk assessment UK practice should use a methodology appropriate for the type of premises being assessed.
PAS 79-1:2020 for Non-Housing Premises: PAS 79-1:2020 – Fire Risk Assessment: Premises Other Than Housing – Code of Practice provides recognised recommendations for carrying out and recording Fire Risk Assessments in relevant non-housing premises. The standard supports a structured approach to identifying fire hazards, identifying people at risk, evaluating existing fire precautions, recording significant findings, producing practical recommendations, and reviewing fire-safety arrangements. Further information is available from the British Standards Institution (BSI).
BS 9792:2025 for Housing Premises: BS 9792:2025 – Fire Risk Assessment: Housing – Code of Practice provides current recommendations for relevant housing Fire Risk Assessments. It succeeded PAS 79-2:2020 and can apply to premises such as HMOs, purpose-built blocks of flats, converted blocks of flats, maisonettes, specialised housing, relevant student accommodation, and access areas serving residential accommodation within mixed-use buildings. The appropriate methodology should always reflect the individual property, occupancy, building use and agreed assessment scope.

The exact inspection scope depends on the premises, but our Fire Risk Assessments can consider a broad range of fire-safety matters.
Assessment Area | What We Check |
Fire Hazards and Sources of Ignition | We consider potential ignition sources such as electrical equipment, cooking appliances, heating equipment, smoking materials, machinery, hot work, flammable substances and other relevant processes. Sources of combustible material and fuel are also considered. |
People at Risk | The assessment can consider residents, employees, visitors, contractors, lone workers, children, elderly occupants, people with reduced mobility, people with hearing or visual impairments, and other occupants who may require assistance during an emergency. |
Means of Escape and Emergency Exits | We may review corridors, staircases, protected escape routes, final exits, exit doors, travel routes, obstructions and alternative escape routes where relevant. |
Fire Doors and Compartmentation | The assessment may identify visible concerns involving flat entrance doors, communal fire doors, internal fire doors, self-closing devices, intumescent and smoke seals, door frames, compartmentation, service penetrations and fire stopping. Where a more detailed examination is required, a dedicated fire-door survey or inspection can be recommended. |
Fire Alarm and Detection Systems | The existing system can be considered in relation to the building and occupancy, including smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual call points, fire alarm panels, sounders, interlinked alarms, testing arrangements and maintenance records. |
Emergency Lighting | We can consider escape-route lighting, staircase lighting, final exits, emergency fittings, testing records and maintenance arrangements. |
Fire Safety Signs and Notices | Relevant signage can include fire exit signs, directional signs, fire action notices, fire-door notices and firefighting equipment signs. |
Fire Extinguishers and Firefighting Equipment | Where appropriate, we can consider the provision, type, location, accessibility, suitability and servicing arrangements of firefighting equipment. |
Evacuation Procedures | The assessment can consider the evacuation strategy, emergency procedures, staff responsibilities, assembly arrangements, vulnerable occupants and relevant personal evacuation arrangements. |
Fire Safety Management and Records | Relevant records can include fire alarm testing, emergency lighting testing, fire-door checks, fire extinguisher servicing, fire drills, staff training, maintenance records and previous Fire Risk Assessments. |
The final scope of the Fire Risk Assessment will depend on the property type, occupancy, building layout, use and level of fire risk.
Fire Risk Assessments frequently identify practical issues that can affect early warning, safe escape, fire containment and overall fire-safety management.
Common Fire Safety Issue | What May Be Identified |
Fire Door Defects | Common issues can include excessive gaps, damaged or missing seals, defective door closers, doors failing to close correctly, damaged frames, unsuitable hinges and latches failing to engage. |
Blocked Escape Routes | Furniture, rubbish, stored items or other obstructions within corridors, staircases or exit routes can reduce the effectiveness of the means of escape and make evacuation more difficult. |
Inadequate Fire Detection | Fire alarm systems may have missing, damaged or insufficient detection, unsuitable coverage, defective devices or systems that require further testing, servicing or upgrading. |
Emergency Lighting Deficiencies | Emergency lighting may be missing, defective, incorrectly positioned or unsupported by appropriate testing and maintenance records. |
Missing Fire Safety Signage | Problems may include missing or unsuitable fire exit signs, directional signs, fire action notices, fire-door notices or other relevant fire-safety information. |
Combustible Storage and Housekeeping | Poor storage of combustible materials, waste or flammable items can increase fire risk, particularly where materials are kept near ignition sources or within escape routes. |
Compartmentation Defects | Unsealed service penetrations, gaps, damaged fire-resisting construction or other defects in walls and floors can reduce the effectiveness of fire compartmentation and allow fire or smoke to spread more easily. |
Where significant issues are identified, the Fire Risk Assessment report can provide clear recommendations and prioritised actions to help the Responsible Person plan the appropriate next steps.
Following the inspection, Safety Spectrum London provides a clear and practical Fire Risk Assessment report designed to help you understand the findings and next steps.
A structured report covering property details, building use, occupancy, fire hazards, existing fire precautions, people at risk, significant findings and recommended actions.
Relevant photographs may be included where appropriate to make identified issues easier to understand and locate within the property.
Fire-safety concerns are recorded clearly so the Responsible Person can understand where attention or further action may be required.
Recommendations are organised by priority, helping you distinguish more urgent actions, medium-term improvements and ongoing management requirements.
Our reports are written to be useful, not just technical. Landlords, managing agents and businesses receive clear recommendations that can be used to plan remedial works and ongoing fire-safety improvements.
Different assessment types may be appropriate for blocks of flats depending on the building, its construction and the nature of any potential structural fire-safety concerns.
FRA Type | Assessment Scope | Typical Approach |
Type 1 Fire Risk Assessment | Common parts of the building | A non-destructive assessment of the common areas of a purpose-built block of flats. This is commonly used where there is no particular reason to suspect significant hidden fire-protection defects. |
Type 2 Fire Risk Assessment | Common parts of the building | Similar to Type 1, but includes a degree of destructive investigation where hidden deficiencies in structural fire protection are suspected. |
Type 3 Fire Risk Assessment | Common parts plus a sample of flats | Extends beyond the common areas and considers relevant fire precautions within a sample of individual flats. |
Type 4 Fire Risk Assessment | Common parts plus a sample of flats | The most intrusive type, which can include destructive investigation within both the common parts and a sample of flats where significant hidden deficiencies may need to be investigated. |
The appropriate assessment type should be selected according to the building, existing information, fire-safety concerns and required scope, rather than automatically choosing the most intrusive option.
All tests performed comply with written RAMS (Risk Assessment And Method Statement) for total HSE compliance.
You can book an appointment over the phone or online. Same-day and weekend appointments are available across London.
Our experienced assessor visits your property to carry out a full survey in accordance with PAS 79.
You receive a professional report and Fire Risk Assessment Certificate within 24 hours.
We explain our findings, suggest corrective actions, and can quote instantly for remedial work.
Fire Risk Assessments should remain relevant to the current building and its use.
HMO Licensing: Fire-safety information may be required as part of local authority HMO licensing or property-management arrangements.
New Commercial Occupancy: Businesses moving into new premises should understand the fire risks associated with their activities and occupancy.
Building Alterations or Refurbishment: Changes to the layout, construction, escape arrangements or building use can affect an existing FRA.
Changes in Occupancy: Significant changes in the number or type of people using the building may affect evacuation and other fire precautions.
Property Transactions: Solicitors, buyers, lenders or managing agents may request current fire-safety documentation during a property transaction.
Insurance Requirements: An insurer may request evidence relating to a building’s fire-safety arrangements.
Following a Fire or Significant Incident: A fire, near miss or other significant incident can indicate that the existing FRA should be reviewed.
Where a Fire Risk Assessment identifies deficiencies, Safety Spectrum London can provide separate quotations for relevant remedial services.

If you require a professional Fire Risk Assessment London service, Safety Spectrum London can help. We provide fire risk assessments London wide for landlords, managing agents, freeholders, property managers and businesses.
A fire risk assessment is a planned look at a building to find possible fire hazards, rate the level of risk, and suggest ways to make it safer. It helps property owners and other responsible people make sure that the building meets fire safety standards and that people can get out safely in an emergency.
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 says that most businesses in England and Wales must have a responsible person do a proper fire risk assessment.
It is the job of the Responsible Person to make sure that a fire risk assessment is done. The landlord, employer, business owner, managing agent, or building owner usually has this power, depending on who runs the property.
If the Responsible Person knows enough, they can technically do a fire risk assessment. Most property owners, on the other hand, hire qualified fire risk assessors who have received professional training and have worked in fire safety.
Yes. Landlords must make sure that fire risks are properly assessed in buildings with shared spaces, HMOs, blocks of flats, and rental properties where fire safety rules apply.
Fire risk assessments are usually needed for shared spaces in apartment buildings, such as stairwells, hallways and shared entrances. Usually, individual flats are not checked unless they are part of a certain type of inspection.
The price of a fire risk assessment changes based on things like the size, shape, number of floors, and overall complexity of the building. Smaller buildings may cost less, but bigger commercial buildings need more thorough inspections.
The duration of a fire risk assessment depends on the size and complexity of the property. Smaller premises may take around 1 to 2 hours, while larger buildings or complex sites may require several hours.
You should look over fire risk assessments on a regular basis and make changes to them whenever there are big changes to the building, its occupancy, or its fire safety plans. Many companies check them every year to make sure they are still following the rules.
A fire risk assessment's goal is to keep people safe and stop fires by finding dangers and making sure the right fire safety measures are in place.
The most common type of inspection for residential blocks is a Type 1 fire risk assessment. It looks at shared spaces like hallways and stairwells, but it doesn't involve destructive inspection.
To get a fire risk assessment, you need to get in touch with a qualified fire risk assessor. They will look over the details of your property, set up a site visit, and send you a report with their recommendations.
