Who writes the guidance on this site, what it is based on, and what it is not.
The guidance published here exists to help landlords understand a duty that is often explained badly. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.
Content is written and reviewed by people who carry out communal-area fire risk assessments, not by an unconnected content agency.
Where something is a matter of common practice rather than law, we say so. Where the law is genuinely unclear, we say that too, instead of inventing certainty.
We do not accept payment to feature a product, a manufacturer or a contractor. There is no sponsored content on this site and no affiliate links. Where we recommend acting on something, it is because the assessment or the law calls for it — not because it generates work for us.
It is general guidance, not legal advice, and not a substitute for an assessment of your building. Whether an assessment is required, and its scope, depends on the specific premises. The responsible person retains the legal duty.
Guidance is reviewed when the law changes and at least annually. Each article carries the date it was last reviewed. Corrections are handled under our Corrections Policy.
