Fire risk assessments in Wandsworth
Independent fire risk assessments for blocks, conversions, HMOs and businesses across Battersea, Balham, Putney, Tooting and the rest of Wandsworth. Report in 5 working days, fixed price agreed before we start.
Fire risk assessments for Wandsworth buildings
The borough’s housing stock is unusually mixed. Victorian and Edwardian conversions around Battersea and Tooting raise compartmentation and single-staircase questions, the Winstanley and Doddington estates raise fire door and evacuation questions, and the Nine Elms and Battersea Reach riverside blocks need their documentation kept current.
We carry out PAS 79 assessments for blocks of flats, HMOs, offices, shops and care homes, and give you a written report with a prioritised action plan you can hand straight to an insurer, a lender’s solicitor or an enforcing officer.
Type 1 to Type 4 for blocks
Most blocks need a Type 1, covering the communal parts without entering flats. We’ll tell you plainly if yours needs more.
Written for the local regime
Reports are structured the way the enforcing authority here expects to see them, with the regulation behind each action stated.
Risk-scored action plan
Every finding is ranked by priority with a realistic timescale, so you know what has to happen first and what can wait.
Annual review support
We keep your assessment current after refurbishments, changes of use or an incident.

Fire safety enforcement in Wandsworth
Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order here sits with London Fire Brigade, which audits premises and communal areas and can issue informal notification letters, enforcement notices or, in serious cases, prohibition notices restricting use of the building.
The council’s housing team also has powers over hazards in residential property under the Housing Act 2004, and licences HMOs in the area. If you have received correspondence from either, send it to us with your quote request and we will work to the deadline in it.
