Frequently Asked Questions About Bexley Fire Risk Assessments

Yes. If your property has shared areas or sleeping accommodation, you must have a documented fire risk assessment (FRA) under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement. For single-let houses without shared common parts, it is not legally mandatory, but recommended as part of landlord duties.

Costs vary depending on property size and type. 

  • single-family home: £80–£250
  • Larger HMOs: £250–£500+ due to increased complexity

Law requires assessments to be reviewed regularly and when they become invalid. Best practice:

  • Annual review for most residential buildings.
  • Review after refurbishments, changes of use, or alterations to structure or occupancy.

BS 9792:2025 provides a structured method for conducting fire risk assessments in housing, including HMOs and blocks of flats. It replaces PAS 79-2:2020 guidance. It supports compliance with fire safety duties. Properties with multi-occupancy and shared escape routes follow BS 9792:2025 for defensible and correct FRA.

From 6 April 2026, Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) become legal in England under the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025.

  • Apply to relevant residential buildings such as multi-occupied or complex evacuation properties.
  • Identify residents with difficulty evacuating due to mobility, sensory, or cognitive impairments.
  • Maintain a person-centered fire risk assessment for these individuals and provide written PEEPs.
  • Review PEEPs regularly and share with Fire & Rescue Service only with resident consent.

The Responsible Person is the landlord or managing agent acting for the owner. They carry out and maintain the fire risk assessment, implement fire precautions, and manage evacuation arrangements. Responsibility remains with them even if an assessor completes the FRA.

Yes, if you have full knowledge of fire hazards, assessment procedures, and UK standards. The assessment must be documented and suitable for legal review. Professional assessors provide stronger compliance for complex HMOs.

Fire risk assessment duration depends on property size and complexity:

  • Small HMOs take a few hours on site.
  • Larger HMOs or blocks take half a day to a full day.
  • Reporting and documentation add extra time after inspection.

Properly prepared reports meet legal and insurance standards:

  • Reports follow BS 9792:2025 standards.
  • They comply with UK fire safety law.
  • Keeping the report current ensures council and insurer acceptance.

Our services reach every area of Bexley:

  • Services cover the full London Borough of Bexley.
  • Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Erith, and Welling are included.
  • Travel and onsite assessment are available in all these areas.
