I rent out a house, do I need more than alarms?

Smoke alarms alone do not satisfy a landlord's legal duties. A rented property fire report in Surrey requires a full assessment of escape routes, fire doors and compartmentation, especially in older or converted buildings.

  1. 1

    Gaps around door frames

    Visible light or draughts around a closed door suggest the frame has shifted. The specialist will measure these during a fire door survey in South Merstham.

    Cracked concrete panels

    Post-war estates here used non-traditional construction. Cracks may expose voids where fire-stopping has degraded over decades.

  3. 3

    Blocked corridor exits

    Bikes or bins stored in shared hallways narrow the escape route. This is a common finding during a block manager fire assessment in Merstham.

    Missing intumescent strips

    Fire doors need strips that swell under heat. If they are painted over or absent, the door may not hold back smoke long enough.
