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!

Fire Risk Assessment for Communal Areas: New Updates for 2024

These updates aim to enhance safety standards and ensure that landlords and property managers take the necessary steps to protect residents and visitors. This blog will outline the key updates, responsibilities of landlords, and how Landlords Checks Ltd can assist in ensuring compliance with the latest regulations.

Key Updates for Fire Risk Assessments in Communal Areas

  1. Detailed Inspection Criteria: The criteria for assessing fire risks in communal areas have been expanded to include more detailed inspections. This ensures that all potential hazards are identified and addressed comprehensively.

  2. Frequency of Assessments: Regular assessments are now mandatory at more frequent intervals, particularly in high-occupancy buildings. This change aims to ensure ongoing safety and address any emerging risks promptly.

  3. Documentation and Reporting: There is a greater emphasis on thorough documentation and reporting. Landlords must provide detailed reports of fire risk assessments, including identified hazards, mitigation measures, and timelines for addressing issues.

  4. Maintenance of Fire Safety Equipment: Updated regulations require more stringent maintenance protocols for fire safety equipment in communal areas. This includes regular testing and servicing of fire alarms, emergency lighting, and fire extinguishers.

  5. Clear Signage and Information: Enhanced requirements for clear signage and fire safety information in communal areas have been introduced. This includes visible escape route maps, instructions for using fire safety equipment, and contact information for emergencies.

Landlord Responsibilities

As a landlord or property manager, you are responsible for ensuring that the communal areas of your property comply with the latest fire safety regulations. Key responsibilities include:

  1. Conducting Regular Fire Risk Assessments: Schedule and conduct fire risk assessments at the mandated intervals. Ensure that these assessments are thorough and cover all aspects of fire safety in communal areas.

  2. Implementing Safety Measures: Address any identified risks promptly by implementing appropriate safety measures. This could include installing additional fire safety equipment, improving signage, or updating fire safety plans.

  3. Maintaining Fire Safety Equipment: Regularly test and maintain all fire safety equipment in communal areas. Keep records of maintenance activities and ensure that any faults are addressed immediately.

  4. Providing Clear Information: Ensure that fire safety information is clearly displayed in communal areas. This includes escape routes, instructions for using fire safety equipment, and emergency contact details.

Simply superb- Getting an HMO license is an incredibly stressful process and culminates with a Fire Risk Assessment. Mo was excellent in his knowledge and ability to make sure my properties were HMO compliant. I have used the company before and will continue to use them again. Note they are also significantly cheaper than their competitors but often are able to arrange next day appointments. Thanks a lot! Tanvi the Salesman was also great as well.
