Frequently asked questions about fire safety & regulations.
All flats should have:
• A working smoke alarm on each floor
• A heat alarm in the kitchen (not a smoke alarm)
• Fire extinguishers or fire blankets (recommended, but not legally required in most cases)
Smoke alarms should be tested weekly. Press the test button until the alarm sounds.
• Check for dust or insects inside the detector
• Make sure it’s not located too close to the kitchen or bathroom
• If issues persist, contact your landlord or building manager
No. It is illegal and dangerous to tamper with fire detection equipment. You must report faulty alarms to your landlord.
Some high-rise buildings use a “stay put” policy during a fire—this means residents not directly affected by fire are advised to remain in their flats unless told otherwise. You should check your building’s specific evacuation strategy.
Landlords must:
• Install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
• Ensure fire doors and exits are maintained
• Carry out fire risk assessments in communal areas
• Ensure electrical installations are inspected every 5 years
Fire doors are designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke. Never wedge them open, and always report damage to your building manager.
Fire drills aren’t usually required in private flats, but it's good practice to know your evacuation route and check your building’s fire strategy notice.
Report them immediately to the building management or landlord. Examples include:
• Items blocking fire exits
• Damaged fire doors
• Faulty lighting on escape routes
