Where to start
Pick what you need
Use the checklists to get a property in order and the template to see exactly what a finished assessment contains.
Fire safety checklist
A plain-English walk-through of the fire safety basics for HMOs, holiday lets and small premises: escape routes, detection, doors, equipment and records. Print it and walk the building.
Fire door checklist
The door-by-door check councils look for: gaps, seals, hinges and self-closers. Built around the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Ideal for a quarterly walk-round.
Fire risk assessment template
See exactly what a finished assessment contains: every section, in the order councils expect. A useful reference, though the FRASafe tool fills it in for you and applies the right standard automatically.
Ready for the actual assessment?
The resources here are the warm-up. When you need the council-ready document itself, FRASafe builds it to the right standard. Free to complete, £45 to download.
