Questions from Leicester clients

Which fire safety law applies in Leicester?

Leicester is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

What records do I get?

A dated log for every visit listing each door, its result and photos of anything that has changed or failed.

Can you price remedial work in Leicester from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Leicester, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does the person doing the check have to be certificated?

The government fact sheet says the responsible person should be able to do the basic checks themselves and that a specialist is not needed for them. Many responsible persons still outsource the checks to make sure they happen on time and are properly recorded.
