April 2026 Regulations- Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs)
New fire safety rules from April 2026 require clear evacuation plans for residents who need extra support. A FRA South London helps landlords prepare buildings and protect people.
Who Needs PEEPs?

Landlord Responsibility
Landlords create a clear evacuation plan and keep it on site for fire and rescue teams. The plan explains how each resident exits safely.
Non-Compliance Penalties
Missing PEEPs after April 2026 can lead to fines, legal action, and serious risk if a fire happens.
How We Help You Prepare
We make the process clear and easy:
- Check properties that need PEEPs
- Identify residents who need support
- Create simple evacuation plans
- Provide clear PEEP templates
- Support fire wardens and staff
- Prepare details for emergency teams
- Review plans each year
South London Focus: In areas like Croydon, Bromley, Lewisham, many residents need extra help. So landlords in these locations need PEEPs in place.

common questions
Fire Risk Assessment FAQ's
Who needs to arrange a Fire Risk Assessment for my property?
- Landlords, business owners, or property managers need to arrange the assessment.
- Anyone in charge of a property, like a building manager, is responsible.
- Private homeowners usually don’t need one, but it’s still a good idea to review your fire safety.
Can I do a Fire Risk Assessment myself, or should I hire a professional?
- You can do it yourself if you’re confident in your fire safety knowledge.
- If you’re unsure or the property is complex, it’s best to hire a professional who has experience and understands the regulations.
How long does it take to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment?
- 1 to 3 hours on average, depending on the property size.
- Larger properties or those with more rooms/floors could take longer.
- Simple homes or smaller offices might be quicker to assess.
What affects the price of a Fire Risk Assessment?
The cost can vary based on factors like:
- Size of the property
- Type of property (commercial, residential, etc.)
- Location (prices may differ by area)
- Complexity of the fire safety requirements
Do I need a Fire Risk Assessment if I live in a residential property?
If you live in a private home, you generally don’t need a formal Fire Risk Assessment. However, if you live in a shared building (like a flat or a shared house), the building owner or landlord must arrange one. Still, it’s always a good idea to assess your own fire safety.
What happens if a Fire Risk Assessment finds serious fire risks?
If the assessment uncovers serious risks, you’ll need to act quickly to fix them. This involves upgrading fire alarms, adding fire exits, or improving fire-resistant materials. The assessor will give you advice on what to do.
How can I be sure the Fire Risk Assessment meets local rules in South London?
Make sure you hire a professional assessor who understands the local regulations. They are familiar with London Fire Safety Guidelines and provide you with a report that’s compliant with UK fire safety laws.
Can alllandlordcertificates.co.uk help me create a fire safety plan after the assessment?
- Yes, I can guide you through creating a fire safety plan based on the assessment results.
- The plan includes things like emergency exits, fire alarms, escape routes, and fire extinguisher locations.
- I can help with setting up fire drills and making sure all the safety measures are easy to follow for everyone in the building.
Do new buildings need a Fire Risk Assessment?
Yes, new buildings undergo a Fire Risk Assessment once they are ready for occupancy.
- It’s important to make sure that all safety systems (like alarms, sprinklers, fire exits) are properly installed and functional before people move in.
- Even if a building is new, it may still need adjustments or inspections based on use.
How do I know when to update my Fire Risk Assessment?
- After major changes to the building (e.g., renovations, new tenants, or adding new equipment).
- If there’s been a fire-related incident or near-miss.
- At least once a year to make sure your fire safety measures are still up to date.
- If there are any changes in regulations or new fire safety requirements.
