Order 17880

Order 17880 I am extremely disappointed with the service. 1) The inspector did not show up for the scheduled appointment. 2) Nobody bothered to call me to inform me that the inspector would not come, and I had taken a day off from work specifically for this appointment. 3) I called customer service four times to reschedule, and every single time, I was told that someone would call me back. Unfortunately, nobody ever did. 4) They charged me for a service that was never performed, and it looks like they are having serious difficulties actually delivering what they promise. The level of unprofessionalism is absolutely shocking. I have not seen such blatant disregard and ignorance towards a customer in a very long time. I have wasted my time, money, and energy dealing with a company that clearly does not care about its customers. Avoid this service at all costs!

How to Book a Fire Risk Assessment: A Step-by-Step Guide for Landlords

As a landlord, it's your legal responsibility to ensure that your property complies with fire safety regulations. This guide will walk you through the process of booking a fire risk assessment, what to expect, and important considerations to keep in mind.

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment involves a thorough review of a property to identify fire hazards, evaluate the risk to occupants, and implement measures to mitigate those risks. It ensures that all necessary precautions are in place to protect the property and its occupants from fire-related incidents.

Steps to Book a Fire Risk Assessment

  1. Determine the Need for an Assessment

    • Identify if your property requires a fire risk assessment. Typically, all rental properties, especially those with communal areas or classified as Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), need regular fire risk assessments.
  2. Find a Qualified Fire Risk Assessor

    • Search for accredited and experienced fire risk assessors. You can find assessors through professional bodies such as the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) or the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC).
    • Ensure the assessor has the necessary qualifications and experience with properties similar to yours.
  3. Request Quotes and Compare Services

    • Contact multiple assessors to request quotes. Provide details about your property to get accurate estimates.
    • Compare the quotes based on the scope of services, experience, and price. Look for assessors who offer comprehensive assessments and detailed reports.
  4. Check References and Reviews

    • Look for reviews or ask for references from previous clients to ensure the reliability and professionalism of the assessor.
    • Check online reviews and testimonials on their website or third-party review platforms.
  5. Schedule the Assessment

    • Once you have chosen an assessor, schedule an appointment. Ensure the date and time are convenient for you and any occupants of the property.
    • Confirm the scope of the assessment and any preparations needed before the assessor’s visit.
  6. Prepare for the Assessment

    • Ensure that all areas of the property are accessible, including communal areas, basements, and attics.
    • Gather any relevant documentation, such as previous fire risk assessments, building plans, and maintenance records of fire safety equipment.
  7. During the Assessment

    • The assessor will inspect various aspects of the property, including fire exits, fire alarms, extinguishers, and emergency lighting.
    • They will identify potential fire hazards and assess the overall risk to occupants.
  8. Review the Fire Risk Assessment Report

    • After the assessment, the assessor will provide a detailed report outlining findings, identified hazards, risk levels, and recommended actions.
    • Review the report carefully and implement the suggested improvements to enhance fire safety.
  9. Implement Recommendations

    • Address any identified issues promptly. This may include installing or upgrading fire safety equipment, improving signage, or making structural changes.
    • Ensure ongoing compliance by conducting regular maintenance and reviews of fire safety measures.
  10. Schedule Regular Reviews

    • Fire risk assessments should be reviewed periodically, especially after significant changes to the property or its occupancy.
    • Schedule regular assessments to maintain compliance and ensure the safety of occupants.
