Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 landlords are required to have conducted a fire risk assessment on their properties. This must be conducted by a 'competent person' with adequate training and or experience.

​

Our in-house fire risk assessor has nearly a decade's experience in enforcing fire safety standards within the private rental sector and has specialised in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) for just as long.

​

Our fire risk assessments take on the principles of the Housing Health & Safety Rating System (HHSRS), the numerical risk assessment used by local authorities when determining whether or not a hazard exists within a domestic setting.

​

This is supported by the current fire safety guidance issued by Lacors in 2008. This document is widely used by Local Authorities when drafting schedules of work for fire safety.

​

By using both the principles of HHSRS and the guidance supported by Lacors our fire risk assessments guarantee your compliance.
