Common questions
What a Stanmore assessment decides
Any block with six flats above a shop in Stanmore requires a communal area fire safety check by law. The responsible person must arrange this, and the specialist records findings in a formal FRA for flats in Stanmore.
The specialist decides whether a stay put policy is safe or if simultaneous evacuation is needed. They examine the compartmentation and detection before recommending which approach suits the building.
A standard assessment covers shared stairs, landings and corridors. If the specialist recommends a type 4 fire risk assessment, they will also inspect inside individual flats to check separation.
For a converted house fire risk survey, the specialist tests whether the old detection still meets current standards. Bedsits require reliable alarms in every room and along the escape route.
On site, the specialist takes a few hours depending on the size of the building. They need access to plant rooms and risers, and sometimes to individual flats to verify compartmentation.
Care home fire safety in Stanmore demands personal evacuation plans for residents who cannot leave unaided. The specialist factors in staffing levels, mobility limitations and night-time cover when writing the report.
