Does licensing in Hammersmith and Fulham affect fire risk assessment?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Hammersmith and Fulham as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Hammersmith and Fulham Council before letting.

Does a block of flats need a fire risk assessment?

The Fire Safety Order generally applies to the common parts, with the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors also within its scope. Individual domestic interiors are generally outside the Order. The building's layout and management arrangements determine the appropriate assessment scope and dutyholders.

Who is the responsible person in a rented building?

It may be an employer, freeholder, landlord, management company or another person with control, depending on the premises and arrangements. Duties can overlap rather than transferring entirely to an agent. Establish responsibilities in writing and seek competent advice where ownership or control is unclear.

Fire risk assessment in Hammersmith and Fulham: the local picture

A shared stair in a converted Shepherd's Bush house presents a different fire safety context from the common areas of a managed riverside block in Sands End. Assessment scope needs to identify the responsible person, relevant common parts and available building information. Peachtree Maintenance can help coordinate access and resulting maintenance instructions without suggesting that a certificate alone resolves fire risk. Door defects, obstructions and service penetrations should be recorded for the party responsible, with specialist building information sought where the construction requires it.

What the rules say

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person for common parts of multi occupied buildings, most HMOs and commercial premises to carry out a suitable fire risk assessment and keep it under review.

The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this includes the building structure, external walls and flat entrance doors. Since October 2023 the full assessment must be recorded in writing. Reviews are expected regularly and after any significant change.
