About FRASafe

Compliance tools built by people who actually use them.

FRASafe is made by Safe Compliance Limited, a UK company building digital compliance tools for landlords and small businesses. It started with one HMO licence and a fire risk assessment that was far harder than it needed to be.

How it started

The gap we set out to fill

It began with a licence application for an HMO. A fire risk assessment was required: a proper written one. But unlike a gas safety certificate or an electrical safety certificate, there’s no single body that issues a fire risk assessment.

The law is clear about why. The fire certificate regime was scrapped in 2006: under the Fire Safety Order, the responsible person (usually the landlord or owner) can carry out the assessment, or have a competent person do it. You don’t have to pay £350 for a professional on a standard property. You just have to do it properly.

“So we went looking for a tool that made ‘properly’ easy. What was out there didn’t inspire much confidence.”

The online options were hard to follow, and the report that came out the other end didn’t look professional. So we built the thing we wished we’d had: a tool that’s genuinely good to use from start to finish, and produces a report you’d be proud to share.

Why we exist

Make fire safety something you can get right and be proud of.

Compliance shouldn’t feel like a trap. FRASafe exists to make fire safety something landlords and small businesses can get right easily, document professionally, and stand behind. Because everyone who runs a property wants the same thing underneath the paperwork: a safe place for the people inside it.

From the founder

“I built the tool I wished I’d had.”

I’m Bradley, an HMO landlord with a couple of properties, so FRASafe isn’t something I’ve never had to do myself. I’ve sat where you’re sitting, filling in the assessment for my own licence, wishing the tools were better. So I started Safe Compliance to build them.

I’ll be straight about where things stand. We’re not hiding behind a wall of accreditations we don’t hold. Instead, FRASafe is built around the recognised standards councils actually reference, and we’ll keep raising the bar as the company grows.

How we keep it compliant

The standards behind every report

FRASafe isn’t a generic form. Every question and every report section is mapped to the framework councils expect to see.

Built to the right standard

HMOs are assessed against BS 9792:2025. Holiday lets follow the RRO 2005 framework. FRASafe selects the correct route the moment you choose your property type.

Every required section

Property details, occupancy, fire hazards, means of escape, detection, structural protection, a prioritised action plan and assessor declarations: the sections councils look for, in the order they expect.

Risk-rated, not box-ticked

Findings are given a clear risk rating (low, medium or high) and rolled into a prioritised action plan, so the report shows real judgement, not just a checklist of yes/no answers.

Honest about the edges. FRASafe is a structured self-assessment tool for standard HMOs, holiday lets and small commercial premises. For complex or higher-risk properties, it’s not a substitute for a professional assessor. We’ll tell you when that’s the case rather than pretend otherwise.

What we believe

The principles behind FRASafe

01

Good enough to be proud of

Every report should be something you'd happily put your name to and recommend to another landlord. If it isn't, it isn't finished.

02

Safety is the point

Compliance is the paperwork; a safe home for your tenants is the goal. We design the questions to make properties genuinely safer, not just licensable.

03

Plain and honest

No jargon, no scare tactics, no pretending a tool can do everything. We tell you what FRASafe is for, and when you need a professional instead.

04

Built by people who use it

FRASafe is made by a working landlord, on real properties. If it's annoying for us to use, it doesn't ship for you.
