Fire risk assessments in Fulham and Hammersmith
Based in Fulham and working across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for landlords, managing agents, employers and schools.
Local to Fulham
An independent consultancy based in the borough.
We are based in Fulham, so a visit here is a short journey, and returning to check progress or reassess after a change is straightforward. We work across the whole borough, including Fulham, Parsons Green, Sands End, Hammersmith, West Kensington and Barons Court. We work to one method and one report format across every building we assess, whether it is a single shop or a portfolio of flats.
Our assessments are carried out by an assessor registered on the National Fire Risk Assessor Register at Intermediate level. Each report puts the significant findings first, gives every action a priority and a timescale, and states what could not be inspected.

Fire safety and licensing in Hammersmith and Fulham
Two sets of law can apply to the same building, enforced by two bodies.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the common parts of residential blocks and to commercial premises. The London Fire Brigade enforces it. Inside a rented home, the Council assesses fire hazards under the Housing Act 2004.
Hammersmith and Fulham operates additional HMO licensing across the borough from 5 June 2022 to 4 June 2027. It covers shared homes with three or more occupiers forming more than one household, alongside the national mandatory scheme for larger HMOs. Selective licensing also applies in a small number of designated streets. The Council publishes HMO standards that include fire safety, and states that the landlord is responsible for making sure a competent person carries out a fire risk assessment.

020 8194 2494info@adeptify.co.ukPage last reviewed .
Do you assess properties for landlords and managing agents in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. We assess single properties and whole portfolios. Portfolios are assessed to one method and one report format, and every report and review date is held in your Adeptify Fire Portal.
Does my shared house in Fulham 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. Hammersmith and Fulham operates additional licensing across the borough as well as the national scheme for larger HMOs, so most shared homes fall within one or the other. Check with the Council before letting. We assess the fire safety of the property. The licence and its conditions remain the Council's decision.
Does a flat above a shop need a fire risk assessment?
The commercial unit and the shared parts of the building both need one. Where the same landlord controls both, we assess them together so the escape route and the separation between the shop and the flats are looked at as one system.
