We provide thorough Fire Risk Assessments across London helping landlords, businesses and managing agents meet their legal obligations with ease.
The purpose of a fire risk assessment is to highlight any fire risks in your property. This process is essential in helping reduce the risk for a fire in your property for residents or employees.
We provide a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment report suitable for all who legally require access to it. This includes the Responsible Person (such as landlords, building owners, or managing agents), Fire and Rescue Service inspectors, local authorities (especially for HMO licensing or council housing), and managing agents. We use the BS9792 fire risk assessment template for domestic properties and PAS79 fire risk assessment template for commercial properties.
What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a structured review of your property to identify fire hazards, assess the risk to occupants and outline the steps needed to reduce those risks. It is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for most non-domestic premises and shared areas of residential buildings.
If you are a landlord, business owner or property manager we can help you fulfil your requirement to carry out your fire risk assessment within 24-48 hours.
Before recent changes to the system, it was only significant findings that were required to be recorded, however, now it’s necessary to record all reports, regardless of property size and the number of people within the property. If you have a building that has more than one dwelling, it’s important to include all external walls and entrances under the Fire Safety Act 2021 as part of the FRA scope.

Fire Risk Assessment Across London – Keeping You Safe
For landlords, business operators, building owners and managing agents, it’s important to understand your obligations when it comes to fire safety and risk management, as the consequences for getting something wrong can be serious.
At Efficient Home Energy, we provide comprehensive risk assessment across the London area, helping you meet legal obligations and requirements to keep people safe and free from fire hazards, ensuring your reputation stays intact.
We don’t believe in perfunctory reports; as such, we provide a thorough and detailed service that is tailored to your property and needs with clarity to keep you compliant under the UK fire safety laws.
Common Fire Hazards We Come Across
Our inspections across London help you identify fire safety hazards and offer simple and practical solutions, keeping your premise free from any type of potential danger. We come across many different risks, some may seem small at the time, but could have a significant impact during an emergency. These include out of date fire extinguishers, blocked doorways, overfilled storage rooms, or simply adding additional signage around the building. Just a few small steps could help to prevent a major disaster at a crucial time.
Every Property is Different
No two properties are the same, which is why we tailor each assessment specifically to the property we’re visiting. A small shop in Shoreditch won’t have the same needs as a converted Victorian building or office block.
Each building will have an experienced assessor take into account what the property is used for and how the space is populated from day to day, so the assessment genuinely reflects the building’s realities.
An Up to Date Fire Risk Assessment is Essential
Keeping your property safe and to the required standards by law, is something you shouldn’t do once and then forget about. It’s required of you to review your Fire Risk Assessment regularly, especially if you make significant changes to the property’s interior or exterior, or if you have new tenants moving in and new equipment installed.
We can make this process easy and stress free by offering a reminder service, and quick and speedy assessments which will keep you compliant and safe so if the fire authorities come knocking, you will be up to date and ready with the proper documentation.
Beyond the Report
Our team will walk you through all assessment findings and suggestions for improvements to the premises and will never leave you with a report that you can’t act upon or that you don’t fully understand. Whether you need suggestions for a type of fire alarm system, or improvements to your escape routes, we’ll advise you on what comes next and answer any questions or concerns you might have.
Our team of experienced assessors can even help connect you with trusted professionals who will carry out the necessary work, be it fitting new fire-safe doors or replacing fire extinguishers.
