Questions from Norwich clients

Which fire safety law applies in Norwich?

Norwich 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.

Do you cover the area around Norwich?

Yes. As well as Norwich itself we cover nearby towns including Bowthorpe, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.

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.

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.
