Fire Risk Assessment Hounslow — from £74.99

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a systematic review of a property that identifies fire hazards, evaluates who is at risk from them, and records what action is needed to reduce that risk to an acceptable level. A NEBOSH qualified assessor examines means of escape, fire doors, fire alarms, emergency lighting and escape route signage, and produces a written report with a prioritised action plan.

A written Fire Risk Assessment is compulsory for every HMO under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This national duty applies in Hounslow as it does across England, an HMO licence can add fire safety conditions on top, and single-let landlords are strongly advised to hold one too.

Fire Risk Assessment in Hounslow — local property context

Hounslow has a higher inter-war share of homes than London and fewer flats in converted buildings. Purpose-built flats house 37.4% of households, terraced houses 20.5% and detached houses 4.9%, while only 6.4% live in flats in converted or shared houses, against 11.1% across London (Census 2021). After purpose-built flats, semi-detached houses are the most common type of home.

The council's Housing Strategy says average private rents rose 46% between 2018 and 2024. At the 2021 Census, 30.9% of Hounslow households rented privately, close to London's 30.0%. Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the TW7, TW3, W4, TW13, TW14, TW8, TW5, TW4, UB2 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Hounslow for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Hounslow: homes above a business

For an HMO above a shop, office or takeaway, the assessment needs to look beyond the home's own hall and stairs. It should look at the floors, walls and doors between the home and the business, and record what that construction is (Hounslow's HMO standards set 60 minutes' separation there). If the commercial unit has its own fire risk assessment, ask for a copy so both documents describe the same separating construction.
