Fire Safety Certificate
A fire safety certificate verifies that a building or structure complies with the fire safety standards established by the UK government. It is issued by a qualified fire safety professional, such as a fire engineer, following an inspection of the premises to ensure adherence to the relevant regulations. Typically valid for one year, the certificate must be renewed annually.
This certificate also confirms that your property complies with the fire safety requirements outlined in BS 5839, the British Standard for fire safety in the UK.
If you plan to make any changes to your property that may impact its fire safety, a new fire safety certificate will be required to confirm continued compliance with BS 5839 standards.
Do you need a fire safety inspection
A fire safety certificate, also known as a BS5839 certificate, is issued following an inspection by a qualified fire safety engineer. It ensures that all fire safety equipment, such as heat and smoke alarms, is compliant with current regulations. Typically valid for one year, the certificate requires renewal through an annual inspection.
As a property owner, it’s your responsibility to maintain up-to-date fire safety equipment. A fire safety certificate provides assurance, with the engineer conducting a thorough inspection and providing a report on any issues that need attention.
- Without a fire safety certificate, you risk endangering yourself and your tenants. If a fire occurs and your safety equipment is not compliant with regulations, you could be held liable for any resulting damage or injuries.
- If you're responsible for a property, ensure you have a fire safety certificate and conduct regular inspections to protect yourself, your tenants, and the property.

What type of smoke alarm is needed for your property?
Regulations don’t mandate a specific smoke alarm type, so landlords should choose alarms based on their property and tenants’ needs, ensuring compliance with BS 5839-6. “Sealed for life” batteries are preferred for battery-powered alarms.
UK councils generally require mains-powered smoke alarms in common hallways and lounges for rented properties larger than a studio, providing Grade D LD3 protection for single tenants or families. In HMOs, mains-powered alarms are needed in each room, hallways, and lounges for properties up to two floors, offering Grade D LD2 protection. For HMOs with three or more floors, a Grade A fire alarm panel system is required, ensuring Grade A LD1 protection.
Types Of Alarm
When selecting a smoke or heat alarm, you can choose between two main types: battery-powered and mains-powered. Each has its own pros and cons, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your needs.
Battery Power Alarms
Battery-powered alarms are easy to install since they don’t require wiring and can be moved between rooms. However, they may be less reliable than mains-powered alarms due to the need for regular battery replacements.
Main Power Alarms
Mains-powered smoke alarms are the most reliable, as they don’t rely on batteries and remain functional during power cuts. They should be hardwired in all sleeping areas, hallways, and stairwells to ensure optimal safety and protection.
Fire Alarm Panel System
A fire alarm panel detects smoke and heat to suppress fires, typically installed in HMOs with three or more floors and commercial buildings. These panels activate suppression systems to extinguish fires.
