When a Fire Risk Assessment Is Required
A fire risk assessment is required for:
- Blocks of flats and residential buildings (communal areas)
- HMOs and shared houses
- Mixed-use developments
- Commercial and non-domestic premises
Southwark has a large number of high-density residential and mixed-use buildings, making suitable fire risk assessments particularly important.
Assessment Scope
- Fire hazards and ignition sources
- People at risk
- Means of escape and signage
- Fire detection and alarm systems

The assessor, once appointed, provides a documented report with a prioritised action plan proportionate to risk.
