“I’ve now used this company four times and can honestly say they’ve been brilliant from start to finish.
I originally found them after being let down repeatedly by another company (to the point where I’m now having to take legal action), so I was understandably very nervous about using someone new. I’m so glad I chose them.
They’ve carried out EICRs, Fire Risk Assessments, a substantial package of follow-on fire safety works, and I’ve now booked them again for another Fire Risk Assessment, EICR and an Asbestos Management Survey.
Every member of the team has been incredibly responsive, professional and helpful. They’re always happy to answer questions, no matter how many you have, and they never make you feel like you’re a burden. Communication has been excellent throughout, which is something I really value.
On the larger follow-on works, they initially quoted two days to complete the job but actually finished it in just over one day, which was a fantastic surprise. Although I wasn’t present during the Fire Risk Assessment at one of the blocks, one of the directors there commented on how friendly and helpful their surveyor was. One of my own team members, who met him on site, said exactly the same.
Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of their work, their professionalism and how easy they are to deal with. They’ve gone above and beyond on every project we’ve given them, and they’ll continue to be my first choice for compliance work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

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 Islington 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.
Legal requirement: The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a written Fire Risk Assessment for every HMO in Islington. The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced further duties for buildings over 18 metres or 7+ storeys. Enforcement is carried out by the local fire and rescue authority, and non-compliance can result in a prohibition notice or prosecution.
Fire Risk Assessment in Islington — local property context
Islington fits 225,000 residents into 15 square kilometres, the second densest borough in England and Wales on the council's figures, and most of its homes are flats. At the 2021 Census, 57.4% of households lived in purpose-built flats and 21.3% in flats or bedsits in converted or shared houses, while 12.7% lived in terraced houses. The stock is old: 35.9% of council tax properties predate 1900 (VOA 2025).
Islington expects landlords to join the London Rental Standard and be accredited, and requires a licence for shared homes of three or more people from two households or more. Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the N1, N7, N19, N5, EC1, N4 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Islington for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Islington: a top-third borough for home fires
Islington's 2025 licensing evidence placed the borough in the top third of London boroughs for residential fire incidents, using London Fire Brigade data. The council's HMO standards, updated in August 2026, say a fire risk assessment should be carried out and should identify the works needed, pointing landlords to the LACORS guidance. Book the assessment before planning fire works, so the works list comes from it.
Where an HMO's rooms or flats open onto a shared escape route, the same standards require each front door to be a 30-minute fire door with intumescent strips, smoke seals and an overhead closer. They also say it should open from inside without a key. An assessment of that kind of HMO should check every one of those doors.
