Landlord Fire Safety Risk Assessments
Landlords - do your properties comply with the current fire safety regulations?
As a residential landlord, you have a general duty to keep your tenant's home fit for them to live in and ensure that it doesn't endanger their health. This includes ensuring there are no fire hazards in the property.
At gas-elec group we have inspectors available who are fully trained and certified Fire Safety Risk Assessors. They will visit the property in order to identify any fire hazards, decide on any action that needs to be taken and produce a written assessment.

Fire risk assessments are a systematic identification of all fire related hazards within a Landlords premises and are designed to analyse how those hazards may adversely affect the building and its occupants. It should identify the level of risk that those hazards may present, and also identify suitable control measures for any significant risks.
