Thought as much. The problem at the moment is getting sight of the FRA that should have been completed for the building as a whole, particularly regarding the fire separation from our occupancy to the 3 residential dwellings sharing the building & vice versa. Quite happy to do an FRA for our undertaking but not to take on the responsibility for vouching the integrity of the buildings fire separation.

We occupy (lease) a small ground floor office which is part of a block containing 4 flats. The building consists of ground & 1st floor. We have our own entrance which is separate from the communal entrance to the flats. We are being asked by the local FRS to provide a Fire Risk Assessment. The landlord leasing us the office space doesn't appear to have one. I dont know who the freeholder is for the entire building. Conducting an FRA for our small office space (4 people) would be quite straightforward but I dont want to be drawn into the more intricate issue of the adequacy of fire separation between our office space & the flats above. Who is responsible for this ? The landlord ? The freeholder ? Should they already have an FRA for the building as a whole which we can refer to when compiling our FRA ?

Thanks, I didn't think it was mandatory.

Quick question regarding a residential care home. Full L1 system installed but panel is not a fully addressable one. Zoned only. Im being told that it is mandatory to upgrade to fully addressable. Certainly acknowledge the benefits that offers but is it now mandatory ?
