About FRASafe
FRASafe makes it straightforward for UK landlords and property managers to produce legally compliant fire risk assessments - without the cost of a specialist consultant for every property.
Our mission
Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement for HMOs and short-term rental properties in the UK. But the process has historically been opaque: either you pay a consultant hundreds of pounds, or you use a generic template that councils increasingly reject.
FRASafe was built to change that. We provide a structured, guided questionnaire that walks you through every legal requirement — and produces a professional PDF report that meets the standard councils and fire services expect. Free to complete. £45 for the finished report.
Why FRASafe?
Built to the right standards
Every question in FRASafe's HMO assessment maps directly to BS 9792:2025 — the British Standard that councils and fire services use to judge whether an assessment is 'suitable and sufficient' under the RRO 2005.
Fast and straightforward
Most landlords complete their assessment in 20–35 minutes. Progress is saved automatically so you can pause and return. The app works offline on-site — no signal required.
A professional PDF report
Your finished report is formatted to the standard that councils expect: property details, occupancy, fire hazards, means of escape, structural fire protection, action plan, and assessor declarations.
Accepted for HMO licensing
The report includes all sections typically required for mandatory, additional, and selective HMO licence applications. One document satisfies both the RRO 2005 legal duty and your council's licensing requirement.
The legal framework FRASafe covers
FRASafe's assessments are designed to satisfy the key pieces of UK fire safety legislation that apply to HMOs and short-term rental properties.
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
The primary legislation requiring a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment for all HMOs and non-domestic premises.
BS 9792:2025
The current British Standard for fire risk assessments in premises other than dwellinghouses. FRASafe's HMO questionnaire is built to this standard.
Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
Additional requirements for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks and resident information.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022
Requires smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms in any room with a fixed combustion appliance.
FRASafe produces fire risk assessment documents to assist competent persons. It does not certify users as qualified fire risk assessors. For complex or high-risk properties, consider engaging a qualified fire risk assessor.
