Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter in Truro
Fire Safety Isn't Optional - Here's Why
If you own or manage a property in Truro — whether it's an HMO, rental home, small business premises, or holiday let — you have a legal responsibility to ensure it meets fire safety requirements. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the "Responsible Person" must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place and reviewed regularly.
As Cornwall's only city, Truro has a dense mix of Georgian townhouses converted into flats and offices, shops with accommodation above, student lets, and HMOs. Older converted buildings like these often have shared escape routes and compartmentation quirks that make a professional fire risk assessment especially important.
Failing to comply can result in fines, enforcement action, or even prosecution. Our accredited fire risk assessments give you peace of mind that your property in Truro meets both legal and industry standards.
Third-Party Accredited for Your Safety
We are proud to be Tier 2 accredited Fire Risk Assessors through the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) — a UKAS-recognised scheme. This means:
- – Our work is independently audited to national standards.
- – Our assessments stand up to legal and insurance scrutiny.
- – We're fully aligned with upcoming government changes that will require UKAS-accredited certification for fire risk assessors.
Stay Ahead of Compliance Changes
The Home Office has announced plans to introduce mandatory competence requirements for Fire Risk Assessors — making UKAS-accredited assessments the new legal standard and enhancing enforcement powers. Coupled with stricter HHSRS enforcement under the Renters (Reform) Bill, these changes mean landlords and duty holders must be ready. Act now to avoid penalties and stay compliant.
