Fire risk assessments for Wrexham buildings
Wales has its own rules for rented homes under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and its own building safety programme, so landlords and building owners here need advice that reflects Welsh law rather than English.
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 Wrexham
In Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to non-domestic premises and the common parts of residential buildings, as amended for Wales by the Fire Safety Act 2021. The Welsh Government is reforming building safety separately from England, so duties for taller residential buildings in Wales follow Welsh legislation and guidance rather than the English higher-risk building regime.
