Fire Safety Support For Landlords

The Importance of Fire Safety in Rental and Commercial Properties

At The Firehouse Group, we understand the complexities of fire safety regulations and are here to support residential and commercial landlords across the UK, including in Sheffield, Barnsley, and Leeds.

The Importance of Fire Safety in Rental and Commercial Properties

Ensuring fire safety is one of the most important responsibilities for landlords. Non-compliance with fire safety requirements can lead to significant repercussions, including legal penalties, financial fines, and, most critically, the risk of harm to occupants. Whether you manage a single rental home, a portfolio of residential units, or a commercial property, prioritising fire safety is essential for protecting lives and assets.

Residential properties often house multiple tenants, which can heighten the risk of fire hazards such as electrical faults or kitchen incidents. For commercial properties, additional challenges arise, such as managing high foot traffic, operating industrial equipment, or addressing specific fire risks linked to the type of business conducted. By taking a proactive approach to fire safety, landlords not only ensure compliance with the law but also protect their tenants, employees, and long-term investments.

Key Fire Safety Responsibilities for Landlords

1

Install and Maintain Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors:

Smoke alarms must be fitted on every storey of residential properties, with carbon monoxide detectors in rooms containing solid fuel appliances. Commercial properties require appropriate fire detection systems that are regularly tested.

2

Ensure Fire Escapes Are Accessible

All fire escape routes must be clear, well-lit, and free from obstructions to allow tenants or occupants to exit the property safely in the event of a fire.

3

Provide Fire Safety Equipment

Depending on the property type, landlords must supply and regularly inspect fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and other safety equipment to ensure they remain functional.

In 2019 we were looking for new local company to service and maintain our fire alarm systems. We previously used a national company. Having spoken the Chris at Fire House Group we engaged them to service and maintain our fire systems. Fire House Group and their staff as a whole have been fantastic from the top down.
They have met and exceeded our expectations at every turn. They are small enough to care but large enough to cope with whatever we have asked of them nothing is too much trouble.
The engineers have been proactive when visiting helping us reduce the amount of faults, offering advice on newer more cost effective solutions. We wholeheartedly recommend Fire House Group.

We have had two of your staff at our office for the last two days. I met them on the first day to show round again.
They have done a great job.
I've not been in the office all the time. One of our directors has called me to say how impressed she was with Dan and the way he was training Sam.
She went on to say Dan was explaining everything he was doing and why. When they were doing anything.
She commented on how refreshing it was to see them acting so professionally.

We have been using The Fire House Group to provide a one stop shop for all our fire safety, installation, maintenance, and servicing requirements since January 2016.
During this time, I have found Chris and his team to be totally reliable, professional, well organised, and always happy to help.
I know that by continuing to use them I can trust that all our regulatory responsibilities are taken care of and our managers have a resource they can call on 24/7.
I’d be happy for you to contact me if you have any further questions regarding their service.
