Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) – Studio Apartments & Single-Let Flats

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021, landlords of residential buildings must ensure their properties are assessed for fire hazards to safeguard tenants. Our qualified fire risk assessors carry out a thorough Type 1 (non-destructive) Fire Risk Assessment tailored specifically for studio flats, bedsits, and single-occupancy apartments.

Key Areas Evaluated:

• Escape Routes & Travel Distances: Assessing clear, unobstructed exit paths from living/sleeping areas to the final exit door.
• Flat Entrance Fire Doors (FD30): Checking 30-minute fire resistance, self-closing devices, intumescent heat seals, and cold smoke strips.
• Smoke & Heat Warning Systems: Testing Grade D mains-powered interlinked smoke and heat alarms (BS 5839-6).
• Electrical & Gas Ignition Hazards: Visual assessment of consumer units, portable heaters, and cooker safety clearances.
• Combustion & Furnishing Standards: Verifying compliance with Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations.
