Fire risk assessments Ealing

Fire risk assessments for Ealing buildings

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.

If you are the Responsible Person for a non-domestic building, or the common parts of a block of flats, the law requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. Since the Fire Safety Act 2021, assessments for blocks of flats in England and Wales must also consider the external walls and the flat entrance doors.

Our assessments follow PAS 79-1 for non-domestic premises and PAS 79-2 for housing. We look at the building, its occupants, the ways a fire could start and spread, and the measures in place to warn people and help them escape. You receive a clear action plan with each item ranked by priority.

The rules that apply in Ealing

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.

Which fire and rescue service covers Ealing?

Ealing is covered by London Fire Brigade, which enforces fire safety law for non-domestic premises and the common parts of residential buildings in the area.

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

The law requires a review whenever there is reason to think it is no longer valid, such as after building work or a change of use. Many Responsible Persons review annually as good practice, and higher-risk premises may need more frequent reviews.

Who is the Responsible Person?

Usually the employer, the owner, or whoever has control of the premises. In a block of flats it is usually the freeholder or the management company for the common parts.
