Domestic fire safety

Helping you fire-proof your home

Your home is your sanctuary, but is it truly fire-safe? While there’s no legal requirement for fire safety in private homes in the UK, ensuring your household is protected is a responsibility no one should overlook. Fires can spread rapidly and the right precautions can mean the difference between safety and disaster.

We specialise in helping homeowners, landlords and property managers to take proactive steps to fireproof their spaces. From top-quality smoke alarms to expert fire risk assessments, we’ve got you covered.

Fire safety in flats & shared properties

For flats and maisonettes, fire safety is covered under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which enforces specific requirements for communal areas. If you manage or own a shared property, compliance isn’t just essential, it’s the law. We can help you ensure your property meets all necessary fire safety regulations.

If a property has been converted for other uses, such as a halfway house, residential home or house in multiple occupation, fire safety legislation applies. All new homes must meet Building Regulations Part B, which outlines fire safety measures. But once the property is occupied, keeping it fire-safe becomes your responsibility.

Essential fire safety solutions for your home

If you're looking to safeguard your home and your loved ones, we can help with:

  • Fire escape plans & risk assessments – our expert team can help you design a clear fire escape plan and conduct professional fire risk assessments
  • High-quality smoke & heat alarms – we supply and install industry-leading smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms for complete protection
  • Fire-retardant solutions – ensuring your furniture and home materials meet fire safety standards with fire-resistant products
  • Electrical fire safety checks – avoid hidden dangers with professional electrical inspections to prevent faulty wiring and overloaded sockets
  • Fire-safe kitchens – from fire blankets to automatic fire suppression systems, we provide solutions to minimise kitchen fire risks

Who's responsible for fire safety?

If you're a homeowner, fire safety measures are your responsibility. For rented properties, landlords must comply with fire safety regulations. If you're unsure about your legal obligations, we can guide you through compliance requirements and best practice.

Fire safety isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about protecting what matters most, so don’t wait until it’s too late. To request a site survey and personalised quotation to maximise your home’s fire safety, please call us on 01353 722882 or complete our enquiry form.
