Residential Fire Risk Assessments

At FMSCS, we provide expert Residential Fire Risk Assessments to help homeowners, landlords, and property managers maintain safe living environments and comply with fire safety regulations. Fires in residential properties can have devastating consequences, making a professional assessment essential to protect residents, visitors, and property.

A Residential Fire Risk Assessment identifies potential hazards, evaluates who may be at risk, and recommends practical measures to reduce the likelihood and impact of fire. Whether you manage a single dwelling, apartment block, HMO, or multi-unit residential building, FMSCS provides tailored assessments that address your property’s unique risks.

Our qualified assessors carry out a thorough inspection of all areas, including communal and private spaces, following a structured approach:

✓ Identifying fire hazards such as faulty electrical systems, cooking equipment, heating appliances, and combustible materials
✓ Assessing risks to residents, visitors, and vulnerable occupants
✓ Inspecting fire alarms, smoke detectors, and fire suppression systems
✓ Evaluating emergency exits, escape routes, and fire signage
✓ Reviewing fire doors, stairwells, and compartmentation
✓ Checking emergency lighting and maintenance records
✓ Reviewing resident fire safety information and procedures
✓ Producing a comprehensive written Residential Fire Risk Assessment with clear, actionable recommendations

Residential buildings face particular challenges because of sleeping occupants, shared facilities, and multiple access points. Our assessments highlight areas of concern, helping property owners implement effective fire safety measures and reduce risks in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and updated fire safety legislation.

FMSCS works with landlords, housing associations, property managers, and private homeowners across all types of residential properties. Our goal is to provide clear, practical advice that supports long-term fire safety compliance and peace of mind for residents.
