Fire risk assessments in central London

Fire risk assessments for offices, shops, restaurants, venues and mixed use buildings across central London.

Central London buildings

An independent consultancy with its registered office in Covent Garden.

We assess buildings across central London for owners, managing agents, landlords and tenants. The work ranges from a single office floor to a multi-let building with shared stairs, a restaurant with flats above, or a venue open to the public.

Our assessments are carried out by an assessor registered on the National Fire Risk Assessor Register at Intermediate level. Our London work includes fire strategies and fire risk assessments for Renault's showrooms and for a new showroom at Battersea Power Station, and fire risk assessments for GMB's regional offices.

Shared buildings and shared duties

Many central London buildings have more than one Responsible Person.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the whole building apart from private homes, and the London Fire Brigade enforces it. Where a building has several tenants, each Responsible Person must co-operate and co-ordinate with the others, and the landlord usually controls the shared parts. A fire risk assessment of your own floor does not cover the stairs, risers or plant you share.

Residential parts of mixed use buildings can carry extra duties. In a building with two or more homes and a height of 11 metres or more, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require checks on the flat entrance doors and the communal fire doors.

Many central London buildings are listed or in conservation areas, so recommendations need to suit the building as well as meet the Order.

Which parts of central London do you cover?

We work across Westminster, Camden, the City and the rest of London.

I am a tenant in a multi-let building. Do I need my own fire risk assessment?

If you control your part of the premises, you are a Responsible Person for it and need one that covers your area and how it connects to the shared escape routes. The landlord usually carries out the assessment of the shared parts. We can assess your area and make clear where its safety depends on the rest of the building.

Can you assess a basement or a restaurant kitchen?

Yes. Basements, kitchens and extraction systems are common in central London premises, and we assess the means of escape, detection and the risk from cooking and extraction as part of the assessment.
