What we are usually called out to in Newham
Newham has changed faster than almost anywhere in London. Stratford and the Olympic Park are new towers, offices and a vast shopping centre, the Royal Docks and Canning Town are new residential blocks next to warehousing and the ExCeL centre, and Forest Gate, Manor Park and East Ham are Victorian terraces, many of them let as shared houses.
About fifty minutes from Southgate on the North Circular, which ends inside the borough at Beckton.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Shared houses and their licences
Newham has one of the largest private rented sectors in London, and many of its terraced houses are let room by room. A house in multiple occupation needs the alarm grade the licence and the fire risk assessment call for, usually an interlinked, mains-powered system covering the bedrooms, the kitchen and the escape route, and a test record the landlord can show when the council asks. A battery smoke alarm on each landing is rarely enough.
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 Newham: your questions
Is a battery smoke alarm enough for my HMO?
Usually not. Most shared houses need a mains-powered, interlinked system to the grade the fire risk assessment sets, covering the bedrooms, the kitchen and the escape route. We survey the house and tell you in writing what the licence and the assessment need.
Can you take over an existing system in Newham?
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 Newham that report usually starts with whether a shared house has the alarm grade its licence asks for.
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.
