Fire risk assessments in Chelsea, Kensington and Earl's Court
Fire risk assessments across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, from our base in neighbouring Fulham.
Close to Chelsea and Kensington
An independent consultancy based in neighbouring Fulham.
Chelsea is next to Fulham, so we are close to the buildings we assess here. We work across the Royal Borough, including Chelsea, Kensington, South Kensington, Earl's Court, Brompton and Notting Hill. We carry out fire risk assessments for owners, managing agents, freeholders and businesses, and report in a format an inspector can read.
Our assessments are carried out by an assessor registered on the National Fire Risk Assessor Register at Intermediate level. Where we cannot see something without opening up the structure, the report says so and recommends the right further investigation.

Fire safety and licensing in Kensington and Chelsea
The Council and the London Fire Brigade both have a part to play.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the common parts of residential blocks and to commercial premises, and the London Fire Brigade enforces it. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea also enforces housing standards in rented homes under the Housing Act 2004.
The Royal Borough operates additional HMO licensing across the whole borough from 1 June 2023, alongside the national mandatory scheme. It covers shared homes with three or more occupiers forming two or more households.
Many buildings in the borough are listed or sit within conservation areas. That affects what can be done to doors, glazing and structure, so recommendations need to respect the building as well as the Order.

Do you cover Earl's Court, South Kensington and Notting Hill?
Yes. We work across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and across the rest of London.
Our building is listed. Does that change the fire risk assessment?
The duties under the Fire Safety Order are the same. What changes is how any action can be carried out. Replacing a door or adding glazing may need consent, so we recommend measures that achieve the safety outcome in a way that suits the building, and we say where specialist advice or consent is needed.
Does my shared house in Kensington, Earl's Court or Chelsea need an HMO licence?
That is a decision for the Council, and it depends on how many people live there and whether they form one household or more. The Royal Borough operates additional licensing across the borough as well as the national scheme for larger HMOs. Check with the Council before letting. We assess the fire safety of the property. The licence and its conditions remain the Council's decision.
