London Residents in Purpose Built Block of Flats don’t be tempted to have a BBQ on your balcony this Eater break!
With the forecast predicting a warm Easter, London Residents may be tempted to have a BBQ!
Think twice – is it worth taking the risk?
If you have a ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment for your building it will state that you shouldn’t have a BBQ on your balcony – it is too dangerous for you, your family and your neighbours.

London Pub with Sleeping Accommodation informs London Fire Risk Assessments that the London Fire Brigade are requesting that Fire Risk Assessments should be undertaken by an IFE approved Assessor.
Just today, a customer who had previously been visited by London Fire Brigade, informed London Fire Risk Assessments that LFB are requesting that Fire Risk Assessments are undertaken by an Institution of Fire Engineers ‘Approved’ Assessor! Great news for all accredited Fire Risk Assessors not such good news for some unqualified Fire Protection Services.
When talking to customers London Fire Risk Assessments always stress the importance of appointing a ‘qualified’ and fully ‘insured’ Fire Safety Risk Assessor for their London premises. Obviously, customers need more than one Quote to compare prices but rather than relying on a general internet search LFRA always point them to the IFE website. All customers need to do is to go to the Register of ‘Approved’ Assessors and put in their postcode and a list of ‘Approved’ Assessor will come up in their area.
Everyone of the IFE Register has had to prove competency and supply a copy of their insurance certificates so customers can be sure they will be in safe hands.

London Property Managment Companies should be providing Residents with
Once again we have been contacted by worried Residents of a purpose built block of flats in London, wanting us to check whether the Fire Safety Risk Assessment supplied by their Property Management Company was ok.
Worried Residents were refused a ‘buy to let Mortgage’ due to the Fire Safety conditions of their Flat. They immediately contacted London Fire Risk Assessments to check things out!
When we asked to witness a copy of the Fire Safety Risk Assessment for the communal area the Property Management Company was very hesitant to send it through. Finally it arrive and as suspected the report was not a ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Risk Assessment as required by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 it was in fact and Health and Safety Risk Assessment!
The Residents showed their dissatisfaction as they pay high Management fees and expect that the premise is looked after properly with the right documentation and services in place!
Outcome: London Fire Risk Assessments are booked in to carry out a full inspection!
