Fire risk assessments in Victoria and Westminster
Fire risk assessments across Victoria, Pimlico, Belgravia and the wider City of Westminster for owners, managing agents, hoteliers and employers.
Across Victoria and Westminster
An independent London consultancy covering the whole of Westminster.
We carry out fire risk assessments throughout Westminster, from stucco terraces in Pimlico and Belgravia to offices, hotels and hospitality around Victoria. We report in a format an inspector can read, with the significant findings first.
Our assessments are carried out by an assessor registered on the National Fire Risk Assessor Register at Intermediate level, to PAS 79 and the government guide for the type of premises.

Fire safety and licensing in Westminster
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, to hotels and to commercial premises, and the London Fire Brigade enforces it. Westminster City Council enforces housing standards in rented homes under the Housing Act 2004.
Westminster renewed its additional HMO licensing scheme from 31 August 2026 for five years, covering all 18 wards. It applies to shared homes with three or more occupiers, alongside the national mandatory scheme. The Council also operates selective licensing in 15 of its wards. A suitable fire risk assessment helps a landlord show a property meets the Council's fire safety expectations.

Do you cover Pimlico and Belgravia as well as Victoria?
Yes. We work across the whole of Westminster and the rest of London.
Do hotels and guest houses need a different kind of fire risk assessment?
They need one that takes account of people sleeping in the building. That changes the weight given to detection and warning, to night time evacuation and to the layout guests have to find in the dark. We assess these premises against the government guide for sleeping accommodation.
Does my shared house in Westminster 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. Westminster operates additional licensing across the City as well as the national scheme for larger HMOs, and selective licensing in some wards. Check with the Council before letting. We assess the fire safety of the property. The licence and its conditions remain the Council's decision.
