Frequently Asked Questions About Richmond Fire Risk Assessments

Yes. A fire risk assessment is required for rental properties that include shared spaces. This applies to:

  • HMOs
  • Blocks of flats with shared entrances
  • Buildings with communal staircases or corridors

The assessment checks fire hazards, alarm systems, escape routes, and safety arrangements for residents.

A fire risk assessment needs review to keep the safety record accurate. A review becomes important when:

  • Building layout changes
  • Renovation or repair work takes place
  • New tenants move into the property
  • Fire safety equipment changes

A yearly review keeps safety information clear and current.

The responsible person is the individual or organisation that controls the building. This role includes:

  • Landlords
  • Freeholders
  • Managing agents
  • Property management companies

The responsible person manages fire safety checks, risk assessments, and safe escape routes in communal areas.

Several property types require a fire risk assessment. These include:

  • HMOs
  • Residential blocks with communal areas
  • Offices and commercial buildings
  • Restaurants, cafes, and retail shops
  • Mixed residential and commercial properties

The assessment focuses on shared spaces and fire safety systems.

A DIY checklist gives basic awareness. It does not provide the detailed review needed for many rental buildings. HMOs and larger residential blocks require a professional assessment that includes:

  • Detailed fire hazard identification
  • Inspection of alarm systems
  • Review of escape routes and fire doors
  • Clear written safety recommendations

A trained assessor prepares a property-specific report.

Yes, when the report meets required standards. The assessment needs:

  • A competent fire risk assessor
  • A report written for the specific property
  • Clear identification of hazards and safety measures

Generic or copied reports do not meet council or insurance requirements.

  • Mobility difficulties
  • Disabilities
  • Health conditions that affect movement

Yes. A single property visit includes several inspections. Services include:

  • Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
  • Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
  • Gas Safety Certificate
  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Each inspection produces its own report for licensing and compliance records.

Inspection time depends on property size and layout. A small flat or house inspection takes about one hour. A larger HMO or building with several floors takes two to three hours. The written report is prepared after the inspection.

No valid fire risk assessment creates legal risk for landlords. Authorities take enforcement action such as:

  • Improvement notices
  • Required fire safety upgrades
  • Financial penalties up to £30,000
  • Legal proceedings in serious cases

A valid assessment protects residents and supports legal compliance for the property.
