Fire risk assessment for residential property
When you operate or own a residential building, whether a house in multiple occupation (HMO), an apartment building, or terraced homes, you need a fire risk assessment of residential property. Our qualified assessors:
- Identify fire hazards (sources of ignition, fuel, oxygen)
- Determine who is at risk (residents, visitors, contractors)
- Evaluate existing fire detection, alarm, escape and suppression systems
- Recommend improvements
- Produce a clear, action-based report with photographs and guidance.
We tailor assessments per property type, size, occupancy pattern, and structural features.
Fire risk assessment for flats
Flats and multi-occupied residential buildings pose special challenges like shared corridors, communal escape routes, and external wall systems. A dedicated fire risk assessment for flats identifies;
- Means of escape through communal areas
- Fire separation between flats
- External wall fire spread (cladding, façade materials)
- Fire detection and alarm strategy
- Safe evacuation in emergencies
We ensure your building meets current regulations, guidance, and good practice principles.
Our process
- Initial survey & data collection
We visit your building, inspect all relevant areas (internal flats, common areas, external walls) - Hazard identification & risk evaluation
We document fire hazards, escape routes, fire protection systems, and occupant risks - Reporting & recommendations
You receive a residential fire risk assessment report and a risk-based action plan - Follow-up & reassessment
We support implementation and schedule periodic reviews, especially after any changes.
Ongoing reviews and reassessment
Fire risk is not static. Changes in building use, alterations, or new fire safety legislation require periodic review. Our team offers scheduled reassessments to keep your residential fire risk assessment up to date.
