Are you compliant when it comes to fire safety?
Freeholders and the directors of residents’ management companies have a duty to make a fire safety risk assessment for common areas of blocks of flats.
The Fire Safety Order (FSO) 2005 replaced over 70 pieces of previous legislation and created clarity in this area. The Order does not apply to the individual flats.
If you’re concerned by this, we can happily make arrangements for a professional inspection for you, simply email or call us free on 0800 092 9394. For more information on Fire Risk Assessment check out our FREE downloadable Fact Sheet here.
