Fire Risk Assessments
Risk Assessments
We carry out regular fire risk assessments annually to identify hazards, confirm controls, and set improvement actions. These assessments reduce the likelihood and impact of fire, safeguard residents and responders, and ensure legal compliance.
They help us to:
· Spot hazards early – such as blocked escape routes, damaged fire doors, or faulty alarms.
· Check safety measures – making sure fire doors, emergency lighting, and smoke detectors work properly.
· Plan improvements – prioritizing repairs and upgrades to reduce risks.
· Prepare for emergencies – ensuring evacuation plans are clear and effective.
Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement and help keep you safe by finding problems early so they can be fixed before they become dangerous.
On this page you'll find copies of the most recent fire risk assessment for the eleven tower blocks that we manage. We follow up on recommendations made in these assessments by the independent fire assessor, using the priorities the assessor identifies to make sure the most important actions are completed first.
We're committed to being open and transparent about how we manage fire safety. References in the assessments to individual homes have been obscured to protect the privacy of residents.
Many of the actions identified in the Fire Risk Assessments relate to front entrance doors to flats, which are expected to prevent the spread of fire. We have replaced the front entrance doors of all tenants' homes with fire-rated doors under the Decent Homes programme. If you are a leaseholder and would like information about obtaining a fire-rated door from our supplier at a discounted rate, or to have a door closer fitted to your door, please contact us. If you would like to discuss fire safety in your block, please contact your Housing Officer.
