Fire risk assessments in Greater London

T&T Fire Safety carries out fire risk assessments across Greater London for freeholders, residents’ management companies, managing agents, HMO landlords and businesses. Our work is centred on north and north-west London, in Barnet, Brent, Camden, Harrow, Haringey and Islington and their neighbours, and we cover the rest of the capital too. In London that mostly means converted terraces, council and housing association blocks, new-build towers, and shops with flats above.

Fire safety law in the capital is enforced by the London Fire Brigade, which inspects premises in the 32 boroughs and the City of London and can serve alterations, enforcement and prohibition notices. Alongside assessments we inspect fire doors and service fire alarms, emergency lighting, AOVs and smoke control systems in the common parts of residential blocks.

London housing: flats, conversions and towers

At the 2021 Census, 54% of London households lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment, far more than in any other English region, and about 30% rented privately against roughly 20% across England and Wales. The result is a huge number of buildings with shared stairs and corridors, each with a responsible person who may not know it.

The stock falls into three broad groups. Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats, many of them section 257 HMOs because the conversion predates modern Building Regulations, tend to have timber stairs, original panel doors and gaps in the separation between flats. Post-war council blocks from the 1960s and 1970s depend on compartmentation that later cabling, pipework and replacement doors have often breached. Newer towers raise questions about cladding, smoke control and evacuation: as of April 2026, London had 1,078 buildings in government remediation schemes where works had not started, more than every other English region combined.
