Fire Risk Assessment Redbridge — 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 Redbridge 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 Redbridge — local property context

Redbridge is mostly a borough of houses rather than flats. Almost a quarter of council tax properties, 24.3%, were built in the 1930s, against 16.0% across London, and 61.2% pre-date 1945 (VOA 2025). Only 25.4% of households live in purpose-built flats, against 40.3% London-wide, while 27.0% live in semi-detached houses (Census 2021).

At the 2021 Census, 30.4% of Redbridge households rented privately, close to London's 30.0%, while social renting was only 11.3%, against 23.1% across London. Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the IG1, IG8, IG3, IG6, IG2, E18, E11, RM6, IG5, IG7, IG4 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Redbridge for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Redbridge: the walls beside the stairs

Redbridge's mandatory HMO conditions look at the building fabric along the escape route, not only alarms and doors. Lath-and-plaster walls next to the staircase must be upgraded to 30 minutes' fire resistance, and so must the underside of the stairs and any loft hatch. Polystyrene tiles are not allowed on escape route surfaces.

An assessment of a shared house here should therefore record how those walls, soffits and hatches are built, so the action plan covers them rather than stopping at the doors and detectors.
