Fire Safety

As your landlord, it’s our responsibility to ensure your home meets all relevant fire safety standards

We carry out regular fire safety checks in the communal areas of the properties we own. Depending on the type of property you live in, these checks may include smoke detector tests, fire panel servicing, portable electrical appliance testing and checks on fire-fighting equipment (e.g. fire extinguishers).

These are just some of the checks we do. There are many more, including a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) which is a report containing information about a detailed examination of the internal communal or shared areas of a building. It identifies potential fire hazards, evaluates fire safety measures already in place and determines if any additional measures or controls are needed to be put in place to prevent, control and mitigate the effects of a potential fire.
