What landlords need to know
The Fire Risk is required under Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (as amended). Certificates are valid for reviewed at least annually and must be renewed before they expire. Tenants are entitled to a copy when a new tenancy begins or within 28 days of a renewal inspection.
Costs vary by location, property size and the engineer's hourly rate. A two-bedroom flat in central London will typically cost more than a similar property in a regional city, primarily because of travel time and parking. Older properties with outdated wiring or installations may take longer to inspect.
We aggregate cost figures from public data and trade body guidance, then refresh them quarterly. Always confirm the final price with your chosen provider before booking.
