The Importance of Fire Risk Assessments

Fire is one of the biggest risks people face in the home and it can cause serious damage to lives and properties. As your landlord, we have a duty to ensure your building and communal areas within it meet fire safety regulations.

We carry out fire risk assessments (FRAs) in all our blocks of flats every one to three years depending on the type of building to reduce the chances of a fire starting or spreading if one starts. Over the past year, we have completed 100% of our fire risk assessments. Please contact us if you would like a copy of the FRA for your block.

We also check communal areas regularly to ensure they remain clean and free of obstructions. If we come across any damage or a fault, we will fix it to ensure you remain safe.

We ask that you take care when using shared areas and do not obstruct or interfere with anything that is provided. Please remember:

• Keep all communal areas clear of obstructions such as plant pots, prams, mobility scooters and bikes.
• Do not wedge open fire doors.
• Please place rubbish in the bins provided.
• Report any damage to doors, lights and smoke detectors to us as soon as you can.

If personal items are found in a communal area, you will be asked to remove them. If you fail to do so, we will remove and dispose of the items. We’d like to thank you for your co-operation with these safety requirements.
