Towns we cover in Greater London

Fire safety rules in Greater London

In England, fire safety in non-domestic premises and the common parts of blocks of flats is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as amended by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Higher-risk residential buildings are also covered by the Building Safety Act 2022, which is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator.

Rented homes in England must have a smoke alarm on each storey used as living accommodation and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance, other than a gas cooker. HMO licence conditions set by the local council often go further and call for a mains-wired, interlinked system to BS 5839-6.

London's building stock runs from Georgian terraces to some of the tallest residential towers in Europe. Mixed-use buildings, conversions above shops and a very large number of higher-risk buildings make evidence-led fire safety management essential here.
