London Fire & Security: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you carry out Fire Risk Assessments for London HMOs?
Yes. Every London borough operates its own HMO licensing scheme, and all require a current, compliant fire risk assessment as a condition of granting or renewing a licence. We provide BAFE-accredited fire risk assessments and install BS 5839-compliant detection systems — including Grade A and Grade D systems — to ensure your London HMO meets the standards required by your local borough council. Our assessors understand the fire safety expectations of London’s licensing authorities and can advise on any remedial works identified during the assessment process.
How quickly can an engineer attend my London premises?
Our London engineers are based in Brixton, SW9, giving us fast access to central and south London. We offer 24/7 emergency callout support for customers on a maintained service contract and aim to provide same-day or next-day attendance for urgent faults, alarm activations, and compliance-critical issues across Greater London.
Are your London installations accepted by UK insurers?
Yes. As an SSAIB-certified provider, all of our intruder alarm and commercial CCTV installations in London meet the rigorous standards required by major UK insurers. Upon completion of every installation, we issue the SSAIB certificates of compliance that your insurer will require to validate your policy coverage.
Can you integrate fire alarms, CCTV, and access control for a London office?
Yes. Chilman specialises in integrated fire and security systems for London commercial properties. By connecting your commercial CCTV systems, access control systems, and fire alarm panel into a single unified platform, we reduce false alarm rates, simplify monitoring, and ensure that access points automatically release during a fire event — supporting safe, compliant evacuation across every floor of your building.
Do you work on higher-risk buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022?
Yes. The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced significant new obligations for buildings over 18 metres or seven storeys in height, including requirements for a Safety Case Report and an ongoing Principal Accountable Person regime. Chilman’s engineers are experienced in working on higher-risk residential buildings in London and can assist with fire detection upgrades, system integration, and the documentation required to demonstrate ongoing compliance to the Building Safety Regulator.
