FRA Remedial Works London
A fire risk assessment may identify faults that need action. Finding those issues is only the first step. They then need to be reviewed, prioritised and, where required, put right. SafeHome London provides FRA remedial works in London for landlords, freeholders, managing agents, property managers and businesses. We can review your existing fire risk assessment, identify the practical work needed and help you move outstanding fire safety actions towards completion. Remedial work may include fire doors, fire-stopping, alarm systems, emergency lighting, escape routes, signage and other fire safety measures identified within the assessment. You do not need to have had the original fire risk assessment carried out by us. If you already have a report from another competent assessor, send it to our team for review.

What Are FRA Remedial Works?
FRA remedial works are the repairs, upgrades or further actions needed to deal with fire safety issues found during a fire risk assessment. These may include faulty fire doors, missing smoke seals, emergency lighting defects, fire-stopping gaps or other safety concerns. SafeHome London can review your FRA findings and turn them into a clear scope of remedial work. Some issues can be repaired straight away, while others may need further investigation before the correct solution is confirmed. The type and priority of work will depend on the level of risk, the building, the people using it and the existing fire safety measures. The aim is to address the actual cause of each problem, avoid unnecessary work and provide a practical route towards improving fire safety and closing outstanding FRA actions.
Fire Alarm and Detection Remedial Works
An FRA may identify faults, poor coverage or unsuitable fire alarm equipment. The system should match the building, level of risk and fire safety strategy.
Missing, Damaged or Unsuitable Smoke and Heat Detection: Smoke and heat detectors must be suitable for their location and purpose. Incorrect or missing detection may require replacement or repositioning.
Faulty or Non-Operational Fire Alarm Devices: Faulty detectors, sounders, call points or control panels can reduce system effectiveness. Testing may identify issues with devices, wiring, batteries or power supplies.
Improving Alarm Coverage Where the Existing System Is Inadequate: Where detection coverage is insufficient, the system may need upgrading. The correct solution depends on the building type, layout and fire strategy.
Testing, Repairs and Upgrades to Existing Fire Alarm Systems: Existing systems should be checked before major changes are made. This helps ensure repairs or upgrades are based on the actual condition of the system.
Fire Alarm Recommendations and Relevant BS 5839 Requirements: Fire alarm systems should be designed, installed and maintained in line with the relevant BS 5839 requirements. The correct standard and system type will depend on the premises and fire risk.

Emergency Lighting and Escape Route Remedial Works
Emergency lighting helps people leave a building safely if the normal lighting fails. It is an important part of fire safety in many communal and commercial properties.
Replacing Faulty or Missing Emergency Lighting: Remedial work may be needed where emergency lights are damaged, fail testing or are missing from required areas. New fittings should be positioned correctly for the building and escape route.
Correcting Inadequate Escape Route Illumination: Emergency lighting may be required along corridors, stairs, exits and changes of direction. The layout should support the actual escape route and building use.
Emergency Lighting Testing and Certification: Testing helps confirm that emergency lighting works when needed. After repairs or installation, suitable records or certification should be provided where applicable.
Relevant BS 5266 Requirements for Emergency Escape Lighting: BS 5266-1 provides guidance for the design, installation and use of emergency lighting. It should be considered alongside the fire risk assessment and the needs of the property.
Keeping Escape Routes Clear, Visible and Usable: Emergency lighting alone is not enough. Escape routes must also remain clear and usable, without blocked exits, unsuitable locks or other obstructions that could delay evacuation.
FRA Remedial Works for Different Types of Property in London
SafeHome London provides fire safety remedial works for a wide range of properties across London. The scope is based on the building type, fire risk and findings within the FRA.
Remedial Works for Residential Buildings: Residential remedial works may include flat entrance doors, communal fire doors, escape routes, emergency lighting, alarm systems and compartmentation. The exact requirements depend on the building layout and use.
FRA Remedial Works for HMOs: HMOs can have higher or more complex fire risks due to shared living arrangements. Remedial works may involve fire detection, fire doors, escape routes, fire-stopping and other actions identified in the FRA.
Fire Safety Remedial Works for Blocks of Flats: In blocks of flats, remedial works often focus on common areas, flat entrance doors and other building-wide fire safety measures. The scope should reflect the FRA and the fire safety strategy for the building.
Remedial Works for Communal Areas: Communal corridors, stairs, lobbies and cupboards must support safe escape. Typical works may include fire door repairs, signage, emergency lighting, fire-stopping and removal of hazards.
Commercial Fire Safety Remedial Works: Offices, shops and other workplaces may require repairs or upgrades to alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors, signage, extinguishers, escape routes and compartmentation.
Remedial Works for Mixed-Use and Multi-Occupied Buildings: Mixed-use buildings may share escape routes, fire safety systems and structural fire protection. Remedial works should consider how residential and commercial areas interact rather than treating each part separately.
