Fire safety for landlords

One rental or many? Keep fire safety clear.

Between tenants, repairs and different buildings, it is easy to lose track of what is fitted. We help you understand the alarms and extinguishers at each property, what needs attention and what the work will involve.

Start here

What does your property need?

Fire extinguishers

Have you provided portable extinguishers or inherited them with a property? We can help identify them, arrange relevant service and keep the outcome clear.

What you need to know

Know what is fitted. Know what needs attention.

One home, an HMO or several buildings: each address has its own alarms, faults and records. A clear picture helps you make the right next call without starting from scratch.

01 / Your priorities

Are the required alarms in place?

In England, smoke alarms are required on each storey used as living accommodation, and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with fixed combustion appliances other than gas cookers. Check required alarms at the start of a new tenancy and address reported faults.

02 / Your priorities

What does this building call for?

A single home, an HMO and flats with shared areas raise different questions about detection, warning and escape. Tell us which parts you look after and what is already fitted; the answer should fit the building.

03 / Your priorities

Can you find the answer for each address?

Keep alarm details, reported faults, visits and recommendations together by property. If you provide portable extinguishers, include their type, location and service history.

Requirements vary by property type and nation. The England alarm summary is a starting point; seek advice for your particular property. Carbon monoxide alarm duties are included here for context, while Safe Cinder enquiries focus on fire alarms and portable extinguishers.

How we help

What Safe Cinder can do for you

You may have a fault report, a new let or a question about a shared corridor. We start with the property in front of you and give you a useful next step.

  1. 01

    Start with the address

    Tell us what is fitted, what is faulty and where. Photos or earlier records help; we can arrange an initial visit when needed.

  2. 02

    Agree a practical plan

    We explain recommended alarm or extinguisher work and quote where appropriate. Once agreed, we schedule the work around access and payment terms.

  3. 03

    Keep the outcome by property

    After the work, you receive a service report and any applicable certification, plus recommendations you can track at that address.

Let’s get a clearer picture of your property.
