“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 Sutton 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 Sutton. 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 Sutton — local property context
Sutton's largest building era is the inter-war period: 40.6% of its 86,290 council tax properties date from 1919 to 1939, and 30.6% from the 1930s alone (VOA 2025). Semi-detached houses are home to 27.9% of households, and only 3.9% live in flats in converted or shared houses (Census 2021). The council's stock study adds that only about 5% of the borough's housing predates 1900.
The council's 2025 study estimated 942 HMOs in Sutton. Since 22 March 2026, HMOs of 3 or more people from more than one household need a licence. Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the SM1, SM6, SM5, SM2, SM3, KT4, CR0 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Sutton for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Sutton: mostly whole shared houses
Houses make up 86% of the HMOs in the council's 2025 estimate. Most Sutton assessments are therefore of a whole house shared by its occupiers, not a flat in a block. Sutton's licence conditions say the council "may request and audit" the assessment.

What London landlords say
“Excellent service! I got my Fire Risk Assessment certificate right on time, and the team was incredibly helpful in guiding me through rectifying the issues. The staff was super cooperative from start to finish. Highly recommended”
“My Landlord Certificate gave me a excellent service. They were very prompt in answering & dealing with all of my 4 properties. Also they are much competitive than other similar firms. Sorted everything with EICR & EPC promptly with 4 of my properties. Will definitely use them in the future and recommend anyone to use their services. You will not be disappointed. Awaiting for my 3 EICR & EPC certificates which will receive today as my Internet was down.
Thank you Asad & Moiz.
Best wishes always.”
