Fire Risk Assessment for Flats
Online fire risk assessments for residential flat blocks and apartments, with a PDF report after completion.
Fire risk assessment for flats: price and coverage
The online flat fire risk assessment costs £45 + VAT (£54 inc. VAT) and produces a PDF report after you complete the guided questionnaire.
It covers communal areas, stairwells, flat entrance doors and external elements. Buildings with unusual complexity or higher-risk features may need a professional survey.
Common questions
Who is responsible for the fire risk assessment in a block of flats?
The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is typically the freeholder, the managing agent, or the residents' management company. Individual leaseholders are not usually the responsible person for communal areas.
Does the Fire Safety Act 2021 change my obligations?
Yes. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that the fire risk assessment for a multi-occupied residential building must cover the structure, external walls, including balconies and cladding, and flat entrance doors, not just communal areas.
How long does the online assessment take?
Most users complete the assessment in 10 to 15 minutes. The questionnaire walks you through communal areas, stairwells, fire doors, detection systems and external elements at your own pace.
