Frequently Asked Questions About Lambeth Fire Risk Assessments

Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement for Lambeth landlords?

Yes. For HMO property, a block of flats, or property with shared and common parts, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the Responsible Person (landlord) carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment of common and shared areas and any part of the building that other people use. For single private dwellings with no shared parts, a formal fire risk assessment is not a legal requirement.

How often does a fire risk assessment need to be renewed in Lambeth?

There is no fixed legal interval. The assessment must be reviewed at least every 12 months for HMOs and blocks of flats. The Responsible Person must update the assessment when there is a change in the building layout or use or change in occupancy that changes risk.

What fire door standard does Lambeth Council require for HMOs?

Lambeth Council requires fire doors as part of passive fire protection in HMOs. Fire doors form part of the building fire safety measures and must meet the following:

FD30s fire doors with 30 minutes fire resistance.
Self‑closing devices fitted to all fire doors on escape routes.
Intumescent strips in the door frame to expand under heat.
Smoke seals around the door leaf and frame.
Fire door hardware and hinges that meet fire door specifications.
Certification label fixed in each fire door to show compliance.

These fire door elements are part of the HMO fire safety requirements for safe means of escape.

Does my Lambeth HMO need a Grade D1 LD2 or Grade A LD1 fire alarm system?

Lambeth Council’s HMO requirements are:

Shared houses or flats up to two storeys need a Grade D1, LD2 fire alarm system.
Bedsit HMOs up to two storeys with kitchens in rooms need a Grade D1, LD1 system.
Three or four storey bedsit HMOs need a Grade A, LD1 system.

These are local council minimum requirements based on HMO type and layout.

What is the difference between PAS 79 and BS 9792:2025?

PAS 79 is a specification giving a method for fire risk assessments in many types of buildings. BS 9792:2025 is a British Standard code of practice for residential fire risk assessments, including HMOs and blocks of flats. BS 9792:2025 provides detailed guidance for housing fire risk assessments.

What happens if I don't have a fire risk assessment in Lambeth?

Failing to have a required fire risk assessment is a criminal offence under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Inspecting authorities such as the London Fire Brigade or council enforcement take the following actions:

Issue enforcement notices requiring compliance.
Prosecute the responsible person, fines occur for noncompliance.
Serve prohibition notices in serious cases to restrict the use of the building.

Not having a risk assessment or failing to follow it weakens legal defense in court.

Can I get a fire risk assessment and other compliance certificates together?

Yes. Many fire safety consultancies provide combined services that include:

Fire risk assessment.
Gas safety certificate.
Electrical installation condition report (EICR).
Fire alarm and emergency lighting certificates.
HMO licence compliance assessments.

These services are provided in the same visit for documentation convenience.

How quickly can I get a fire risk assessment in Lambeth?

Time depends on assessor availability and building size. Process includes:

Booking inspection date.
Conducting on-site assessment.
Producing written report for the landlord.

Standard HMO assessment report delivery takes a short schedule after inspection. Larger buildings require more time.

How much does a fire risk assessment cost in Lambeth?

Costs vary with property size and detail required:

Smaller HMOs and simple blocks cost around £150 to £400 plus VAT.
Larger HMOs and complex buildings cost £500 to £1200 plus VAT and more.

Price depends on the assessor and the services included.
