Introduction
Your home is more than just a building—it’s your safe space, your comfort zone, and your family’s shelter. At Safehome London, we understand how important it is to keep it that way. That’s why we offer Residential Fire Risk Assessments UK to help homeowners and landlords identify potential fire hazards and ensure full compliance with UK fire safety laws.
What Is a Residential Fire Risk Assessment?
A Residential Fire Risk Assessment is a professional evaluation of your home to identify fire hazards, evaluate the risk, and provide practical recommendations to improve safety.
Whether it’s a single-family house, apartment, or block of flats, this assessment ensures that every resident is protected from potential fire risks.
Legal Requirements in the UK
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all residential properties that are rented or have common areas (like stairwells or hallways) must have a current fire risk assessment.
Landlords, housing associations, and managing agents are responsible for ensuring these assessments are conducted by competent professionals—like the experts at Safehome London.
