Consistent assessments
The same method and report format across every building, so results can be compared.
Social Housing
Safe homes, consistent records
Social landlords manage a wide mix of buildings: purpose-built blocks, converted houses, sheltered schemes and mixed-tenure estates, often with residents who would need help to escape.
The duties come from several places at once: the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety Act 2021, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and, for higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Act 2022. Our assessments follow BS 9792:2025, using the LGA guidance for purpose-built flats and the LACORS housing fire safety guidance for converted properties that pre-date the 1991 Building Regulations, so each building is assessed the same way and your records hold up to scrutiny.

Social Housing
Supporting your regulatory reporting
The Regulator of Social Housing expects landlords to know their buildings are safe, and the Tenant Satisfaction Measures include reporting on fire safety checks. That only works if the assessments behind the figures are reliable.
- A current, written fire risk assessment for every building in scope
- Recommended review dates you can track
- Actions prioritised by risk, with realistic timescales
- Clear evidence of what was found and why

Find out moreCan you take on a programme of assessments across many buildings?
Yes. We agree the scope, sample and schedule with you at the start, so the programme is realistic and your review dates are met.
Can you review assessments carried out by another provider?
Yes. Our FRA review and validation service checks existing assessments against BS 9792:2025 and tells you which can be relied on.
Do you assess inside flats?
Where it is justified. Most blocks start with a Type 1 assessment of the common parts; we will recommend a Type 3 or 4 if there is reason to look inside flats.
