What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Terraces turned into flats
A house split into flats needs an alarm that matches how the conversion was done. Where the walls and doors between flats give real fire separation, each flat can have its own alarm; where they do not, the flats and the shared hallway need alarms that are linked, so a fire in one wakes the others. Many conversions were done before anyone asked the question, and the fire risk assessment is the place to settle it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person for the building (usually the employer, owner, landlord or managing agent) has to make sure a fire risk assessment is carried out and the fire precautions are kept working. Getting the design wrong is not just a technical problem, it is that duty left unmet.

Fire safety in Hammersmith and Fulham: your questions
My flat is in a converted house. Who is responsible for the fire alarm?
The common parts are the responsibility of the freeholder or managing agent as the Responsible Person; the alarm inside your flat is usually yours. Where the alarms are linked, the freeholder looks after the system, and the fire risk assessment says what it has to cover.
Can you take over an existing system in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. It starts with a free survey, then a takeover report, £250 + VAT for up to 15 devices. We test what is installed, tell you in writing whether it matches the building and the standard, and quote to take over the servicing. There is no gap in your cover while you switch. In Hammersmith and Fulham that report usually starts with whether the flats in a converted terrace are linked the way the fire risk assessment says they should be.
How often does a commercial fire alarm have to be serviced?
BS 5839-1 recommends inspection and servicing by a competent person at least every six months. That does not change with the postcode. What changes is what the engineer should be looking at, which is why we survey the building rather than working from a checklist.
