Fire Risk Assessment Lambeth — 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 Lambeth 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 Lambeth — local property context

Lambeth is largely a borough of flats: at the 2021 Census, 51.6% of households lived in purpose-built flats, against 40.3% across London. Houses are a minority, with 15.0% of households in terraced houses (London 21.3%), 7.8% in semi-detached and 2.0% in detached homes. A further 1.1% lived in commercial buildings such as flats over shops.

More Lambeth households rent from the council or a housing association than from a private landlord, and most private lets in the borough now need a council licence. Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the SW2, SW9, SW16, SW4, SW8, SE27, SE11, SE24, SE1, SE5, SW12, SE21, SE19 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Lambeth for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Lambeth: works approved after London Fire Brigade consultation

Lambeth's HMO standards say HMOs are subject to a fire safety risk assessment and must be inspected, with the council approving the works after it consults the London Fire Brigade. The council also consults the Fire and Rescue Authority on each proposed HMO licence before issuing it, so any fire safety works the licence requires follow that consultation.
