Local fire-safety considerations
- Across The 32 London borough councils, London Fire Brigade attends incidents in London's non-domestic premises — a major city where mixed-use and multi-occupied buildings are common.
- London city centre — high-rise flats, mixed-use towers and the retail core
- Student HMOs and houses in multiple occupation (common parts need an FRA under Article 9 RRO 2005)
- Retail, hospitality and night-time-economy venues
- Industrial units, warehouses and manufacturing sites
- Care homes, healthcare and education premises
Common mistakes in London
- The 32 London borough councils assuming London Fire Brigade will inspect on their behalf — the duty to hold a suitable and sufficient assessment sits with the responsible person, not the fire and rescue service.
- Forgetting that common parts (stairs, corridors, shared kitchens) require an FRA under Article 9 of the RRO 2005 even where rooms are let individually
- Mixed-use buildings (shop below, flats above) where the commercial and residential responsible persons fail to co-ordinate
- Buildings over 11m where monthly flat entrance-door checks are a legal duty under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
- Not reviewing the assessment after refurbishment, change of use, or new equipment
Local statistics
