What Actually Happens on the Day
The practical detail nobody publishes, because it is unglamorous and specific.
Do tenants need to be there?
No. For a standard Type 1 assessment the assessor inspects communal areas: hallways, stairwells, shared kitchens, cellars, the external envelope. They do not need access to individual bedrooms for a communal-areas assessment, so nobody needs to take a day off. If a full assessment including individual rooms has been agreed, you will need to give tenants the statutory notice you would give for any other access.
What if a room is locked and nobody is in?
It gets recorded as not inspected, with the reason. That is honest, and it is better than a report that implies coverage that did not happen. If the un-inspected areas are material to the findings, a good assessor will say so and arrange a short return visit rather than guess.
What does the assessor need access to?
The consumer unit, the alarm panel if there is one, the loft hatch, the cellar, any plant or meter cupboards, and the bin store. In Nottingham the cellar matters more than most places — more on that below. If keys for any of these live with a letting agent, it is worth arranging them in advance; a locked meter cupboard is the single most common reason a visit runs long.
How long does it take?
A small HMO is usually 45 to 60 minutes on site. A 7-bed over three floors is closer to 90. A mid-sized care home is a half day. Anyone quoting twenty minutes for a multi-storey building is not doing the job properly.
When does the report arrive?
Most assessors issue the written report within five to ten working days of the visit. Writing a useful action plan takes longer than the inspection itself. If you have an enforcement deadline, say so on the form and we will pass it on.
Three Things We Insist On
The assessor does not sell the work they recommend
No fire doors, no alarm installation, no extinguisher contracts. The assessment is the whole product, which means there is no reason to find problems that are not there. If you want the remedial work done, you will be told what to ask for and you can put it out to tender.
We will tell you if you do not need one
Not every property requires a formal fire risk assessment. A single-let house with no communal areas does not, under the Fire Safety Order — though smoke and carbon monoxide alarm rules still apply. If you contact us about a property that does not need an assessment, we will say so rather than take the booking. It costs us a job and saves you a few hundred pounds.
We will not quote without knowing the building
A price given over the phone before anyone has asked how many floors and rooms there are is a guess, and guesses get revised upwards later. We ask about storeys, room count, cellar access and building age before quoting, so the price you are given reflects the real building rather than a guess.
What Happens After You Submit
Once your enquiry arrives, here is what happens:
Step 1 — We review your property details and match you with the right assessor for your property type. A care home goes to a specialist in sleeping risk premises. A large commercial office goes to an assessor experienced in multi-floor commercial buildings.
Step 2 — The assessor contacts you with their price, their availability and their qualifications. We do not set the price.
Step 3 — You confirm a date that works for you. For most property types, tenants and staff do not need to vacate, because the assessor works around the normal occupants.
Step 4 — Inspection and report. The assessor issues the written fire risk assessment report after the visit, to the timescale agreed with you.
Step 5 — Review date. A fire risk assessment must be kept under review. Your assessor will tell you when yours is due.
